New Media Challenges
Literatuur
Handig is om de “abstract” of “introduction”, conclusion and discussion te lezen. Het is handig dat je voor aanvang
van de les begrijpt waar de artikelen over gaat. 9 vd 10 keer belicht een docent aspecten uit een artikel tijdens de
les (deze zijn vaak het belangrijkst en komen terug op het tentamen). Dus is handig om op basis van die
aspecten/belangrijke punten van hoorcolleges je samenvatting te maken en de bijzaken in de artikelen als
aanvulling te gebruiken.
Beste is dus:
- Artikelen globaal lezen vóór de les (abstract/introduction, conclusion, discussion)
- Aantekeningen/samenvatting maken tijdens de les
- Genoemde punten in de les zoeken in artikel en aantekeningen na de les aanvullen met informatie
uit artikelen.
