I believe that taking media life can open your eyes – pun intended – to all of the media that we consume on a regular basis. Before taking this course, I was so unaware of how much media controlled my life. Now – I find myself searching for what is real and taking advantage of …

Derek Luttrell – Media Life 101
Like me, you probably registered for this class, noticed it’s a lecture with about 400 kids, and–as our minimally active, underdeveloped minds have taught us–instinctively thought “YES! I can totally skip this class on a weekly basis.” This, for the most part, is true. I had this revelation on this first day of class, but, …
Media Life – Alexandra Corro
Having changed my major to Telecommunications at the beginning of the semester, I didn’t know what to expect. This is where Media Life comes into the picture. Seeing that I needed this course to fulfill the requirements for my major I expected it to be the usual introductory class where I’d be assigned busy work …
Hien Q. Le – T101 as a media philosophy class
Even though Mark once mentioned in a lecture that he does not want to delve into the philosophy aspect, I think the most valuable takeaway from the class is the change in the way of thinking and reasoning. Therefore, to me, T101 is about triggering the complicated thinking, steering a student (myself as an example) …

what T101 is all about- Hsiao Ting Liu
I think all Professor Deuze is raising awareness in our media usage. After taking this class I’m starting to think about things that I probably knew unconsciously but never truly took notice of. The panopticon, google watching our searches, fb owning the stuff we upload, wikiality, zombie effect, etc. somehow in the back of I …
T101 Media Life – Nathan Erdel
When I first signed up for Media Life, I admit I was just trying to fulfill a requirement for my Telecommunications major. Needless to say, I am very happy that I took this class, and if I had been more informed regarding it’s content, I would have taken it regardless of necessity. Media Life is …
Media Life – Austin Fair
Throughout this semester, professor Deuze has challenged my thinking on media in my everyday life. Before beginning Media Life, I really took media for granted and had never fully realized the way it has and will continue to impact major world events. Previously, I had assumed that the argument regarding media was whether it was …
Media Life – Adam Phillips
T101 Media Life is a class unlike any other that I have ever taken. This class has caused me to question how media affects the way I view reality. I believe that this class should be labeled as a psychology or philosophy class instead of a telecommunications class because it focuses on how we view …
Media Life- Andrew Peebles
Taking Media Life has given me an entirely new perspective of media. So many people make claims that media has been a detriment to social interaction. However, this course has helped me realize it is neither advantageous or disadvantageous, it is simply a new way of going about our everyday lives. Media, as technology evolves, …
Media Life – Stephanie Weiss
Before taking Media Life, it seemed as though much of what I heard teachers say about media was negative. They warned me as a young girl to be aware of online predators, while as I got older they told me to watch the information I put on my facebook profile because if I wasn’t careful …
