Using the proper critical terminology is an invaluable group-identity- marking accessory, allowing future employees to participate in Corporate Academic Profit- Center Structures while maintaining a marketable appearance of being aloof from them. The course should be of particular interest to students intending careers in Media Capital departments, as many corporations use personnel with the course’s skillset focus to mitigate public relations threats via co-option strategies. Demand should remain high, since turnover guarantees a higher placement rate than would otherwise be possible, and the traditional Humanities stance toward applied fields allows graduates to maintain high self- image despite shameful exploitationwhile being a valued team member in a maximally-optimized remuneration- and- reward- tracking excellence infrastructure.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
Demonstrate sufficient mastery of technical terminology to convince their cohorts and regional employers that they have mastered technical terminology, and thus semiotic analysis, therefore reducing complaints about course cost to an acceptable level.
Deploy semiotic analyses primarily designed only to signal solidarity with other semioticians, rather than to affect the lives of the general public, thus minimizing threats to marketing-
based profit enhancement programs or to HR behavioral baseline targets. Display messaging leadership behaviors that increase the University’s attractiveness to potential revenue and/or cultural capital sources.
As per University Budgetary Enhancement Initiative 23-A, texts per section will vary based on what current franchising agreements are in place. At least 70% of course content will use colorful, animated situation comedies and/or Wikipedia-assisted fact- quoting tests to maximize student satisfaction with course and minimize threats to student self- image.
Grade spectrum will be set according to University’s current base min-max calculations of relation between student perceptions and enrollment- profitability cutoffs, modified by +1.2 (the standard Humanities parameter).
