"Mashup:  Media & Pop Culture in San Francisco"
University of San Francisco Department of Media Studies

Check out these excellent student projects for the
#USFCA First Year Seminar,
"Mashup: Media & Pop Culture in San Francisco," spring 2015!

First year university students went for 24 hours without electronic media (phones, internet, computers, video, etc. etc. etc.), keeping an extensive journal about their experiences.

Their background research drew from articles, as well as these videos

Here are some of the projects students created, describing their experiences and observations.  They also integrated a theory from their research articles and videos -- and also, if they chose, from media effects theories.

 Check out these great stories about their experiences.
