Informationen zum Autor Who is Greg Smith? Greg Smith is an ordinary man touched by God in an extraordinary way. His gift of thinking big and his obligation to serve has always driven him to accomplish much. But praise and titles have never been important to this man who values Jesus Christ and family above all else. His sense of humor and unwavering focus has fallen onto the pages that outline his life. Greg graduated from Centenary College of Louisiana in Shreveport, Louisiana with a degree in Petroleum Geology. He holds Diplomas in Ministries/Pastoral Education and in Theological Foundations from Seminary Extension of the Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. Greg knows without a doubt his best story is yet to come. I would love for you to share your story. Please feel free to contact me. 318-621-6529 df49ministries@att.net. Klappentext You probably already have a clear idea of what a "discussion guide for students" is: a series of not-very-interesting questions at the end of a textbook chapter. Instead of triggering thought-provoking class discussion, all too often these guides are time-consuming and ineffective.This is not that kind of discussion guide.What Media Classes Really Want To Discuss focuses on topics that introductory textbooks generally ignore, although they are prominent in students' minds. Using approachable prose, this book will give students a more precise critical language to discuss "common sense" phenomena about media.The book acknowledges that students begin introductory film and television courses thinking they already know a great deal about the subject. What Media Classes Really Want To Discuss provides students with a solid starting point for discussing their assumptions critically and encourages the reader to argue with the book, furthering the 'discussion' on media in everyday life and in the classroom.
