Welcome to the course “Political Communication in the Age of Surveillance”, an entirely online, asynchronous course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this Welcome Message, I will discuss the contents of the course, the readings and other learning material, as well as the grading elements. In case you do not know, asynchronous means, in the context of online teaching, that we will NOT meet at regular times as a group. You will find online all the material you need to success in the course. You will have the flexibility to work whenever you can plan it in your schedule. It is, thus, very important that you regularly (at least once a day) log in to Blackboard Learn in order to keep up to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
