Things to Read, Introduction

There is not a textbook for Media Bootcamp. These links are your textbook. Unless you have a photographic memory, it is not enough to simply skim these articles online. You need to read them carefully and take notes.

There will be two exams in this course, and questions will come from these readings as well as your terminology.
