Westley University Department of Media BA Honours Media Course Outline

The BA Media is primarily an academic programme of study in which information media forms are scrutinised and critically analysed in their full social, cultural and political context. Through a variety of teaching approaches and different forms of coursework, you will gain a fuller understanding of  the many factors in the production processes and circulation of media products and messages, the ways media represent the world and ourselves and how audiences engage with media. If you want to train for courses in television, lm, photographic or print production, this is not the degree for you. Of course it benets from Westley’s high reputation for Journalism training at postgraduate diploma level, built up in the University over many years, and a number of modules involving the study of journalism, online work, and some writing for media. But mostly the BA requires students with strong academic credentials, who will develop the intellectual rigour and communication skills to work in a range of careers. Such careers though will include journalism - where there is a continuing demand for well-qualied academic graduates from many subject areas. The BA programme is also a valuable qualication for postgraduate study in specic mediarelated courses and some of our graduates go on to our own, and other, professional diploma and postgraduate courses after their BA. Course Duration, Aspects and Teaching Methods

The 3 year Honours degree Course consists of 25 hours of material, incorporating lectures, seminars and tutorials every week. Classes will be taught over the course of the three semesters of the academic year. Students have a series of 10 compulsory modules they will follow over the three years and three elective modules that they must choose from a list of 10. Requirements of Entry

Students are individually assessed on their academic and professional qualications and experience. Mature student applications are welcomed. There is a minimum requirement of GCSE maths and English language or an equivalent qualication. Some degree of computer literacy will be needed and improved upon throughout the course. Assessment

Years 1 and 2 are examined by sessional examinations at the end of the academic year. These marks do not go towards the nal degree evaluation but must be passed to continue to the following year. The nal degree is a mixture of 50% course mark, 25% nal exams mark and 25% dissertation (to be submitted at the end of the Easter vacation of the nal year). 8 assignments are given every year. The 5 best marks of each year count to provide a coursework mark for the year. Each year’s coursework mark goes towards the nal coursework mark for the nal degree grade. Resources

A full reading list will be sent to undergraduates taking the course 2 months before the start of lectures. Students will be expected to have access to a computer and internet connection. General Training Test Test 10; Page 13

SECTION 3 Questions 28 - 40 Read the following passage and answer Questions 28 – 40. The Threat to the Grizzly Bears of Alberta

The grizzly is known as the most dangerous of bears. However the grizzly is under threat in its natural homeland. The Canadian province of Alberta used to be a particular stronghold for the grizzly but a report is due to be released shortly which shows this is no longer true. The report shows the grizzly bear population has decreased since 1988. Previously, the government claimed the number of grizzly bears in Alberta had almost doubled since 1988, climbing to almost 850 grizzlies on lands managed by the province. “This report reveals that the government had overestimated the population by almost 100 per cent and as a result has been completely mismanaging this sensitive species for at least 15 years,” says Grizzly Bear Alliance Program Director Dr. Tracey Tracey Henderson. An estimate released in 2003 indicates there ther e are about 675 grizzlies remaining in Alberta, mostly restricted to the wildest parts of the western mountains and foothills. At one time there may have been 6000 grizzlies in what is now Alberta. Abraham Styles, an 18th century Albertan gold prospector, wrote of his fear of encounters with numerous bears in the summer months. With the coming of settlement, agriculture and thousands of people, most of  the grizzlies did not survive. During the 1800s, increasing numbers of fur traders, explorers and settlers, armed with improved rearms, began the demise of bears throughout the south eastern parklands and the foothills of south western Alberta. Grizzlies were shot because of the danger they represented, as well as for sport and their fur and because early settlers could not tolerate so large a carnivore, peaceful though it was when not surprised or injured. And so, the grizzly disappeared from much of Alberta. Now there is a call for the yearly spring hunt of grizzlies to be stopped by the new government. “Minister Coutts is expected to announce in the next few days whether Alberta’s spring grizzly bear hunt hun t will go ahead or o r not,” says AWA AWA Conservation Specialist, Nigel Douglas. “We hope that a switch of Minister will bring about a more enlightened attitude to the plight of Alberta’s troubled grizzlies.” Government seems less worried. “There is no doubt about it - urbanisation and the activities that come with it are challenges for managing bears and other wildlife,” said previous Minister Mike Cardinal. “However studies show that Alberta is doing an excellent job in dealing with human population growth and bear management.” The expansion of human movement is and always has been a major threat to bears. “Most knowledgeable scientists will agree that the grizzly bear in Alberta is on a slow slide to extinction. If the government wants to reverse this trend, they need to sincerely and effectively control the human activity that threatens bears, protect the grizzly bear habitat vital to the species survival and stop the hunt” says Dr. Paul Paquet, an Edmonton environmentalist. You would think that there was enough land for all out there in the wilderness but the problem is a clash of interests. The highest quality bear habitat, constituting less than 20 percent of the region, is predominately found in valley bottom riparian areas. Unfortunately, valley bottoms are also preferred by humans for travel corridors, utility corridors, towns and recreational developments. Landscape ecologist Brad Stelfox also points out that “the average Albertan should not be able to drive everywhere, all the time, for all reasons. The long-term prospect for Alberta grizzly bears, and other sensitive species, is bleak with the government’s approach to managing roads and the related human activities. Roads are the single most destructive human force in the Alberta wilds.” Roads destroy and fragment habitat, cause mortality sinks, affect wildlife distribution General Training Test 10; Page 17

and movement patterns and are signicant sources of sediment that destroys sh habitat. They also provide access for humans resulting in increased resource extraction and both legal and illegal hunting and shing. Roads destroy wilderness and threaten those species that depend on wilderness for survival. Many sh, bird, mammal, and even plant species are affected. Industry seems willing to help. Shane Kells, a representative from both the oil and gas and timber industries has publicly stated that “we are willing to take out roads and manage access in a better way but we need the government’s help and this hasn’t happened.” The long-term prospects for Alberta’s grizzly bears and other sensitive species are bleak unless there are radical changes in the Government’s approach to managing roads and the related human activities. “The best ecological data suggests that grizzly bear numbers are declining on a scale similar to the decline of Siberian tigers,” says World Wildlife Fund spokesperson Peter Lee. If the Alberta wilderness is to survive as a functional ecosystem eco system for the grizzly, someone must stop the cancer-like growth of roads that has, and continues to, occur unbridled throughout the region or the day will come when the magnicent grizzlies no longer wander the mountains and foothills of  Alberta’s wilderness.
