Introduction

We will introduce the course as a whole in the first session. All sessions will be taught via ZOOM at fixed time slots. At the first course session on Nov. 05, '20, you should all be acquainted with ZOOM. We will check with you, via eMail, ahead of time. We will provide course-related material (slides, literature list, exercises, links, etc.) before the sessions, but only after you handed in the Pre-Assignment. From the first session onwards, we will organize the former EMS lecture (Vorlesung) as a combination of material presentation, exercises, and discussions on current MTM EMS topics as we adjust to the digital environment and prepare for the final exam (date Jan. 28, '21) - the only slot when students MUST be digitally present. However, teaching and feedback will be given mainly during the online time slots.

 

As we changed to portfolio based grading also for EMS 6CP, a number of required exercises during the semester (to be done before the respective session - offline!) allow students to check their understanding of the material and prepare issues for discussions during the online course slots.

Pre-Assignment due Oct. 21, '20, 11:00 am via eMail - we offer eMailing the chapters as of Jul. 31, '20 to those students who are registered on OUR website (see below)
Read (1) Caves, Chapter 14,* and (2) Knee et al., Chapter 6,**.
Summarize those chapters (do not summarize the complete books, i.e., do not just copy book abstracts!) in about 250 words each and add another 250 words on how you expect and reason the two chapters represent similar or contrasting lines of argument regarding the specific case of 'making money as content provider in the era of Netflix and Amazon Prime'. Apply scientific writing style with correct literature referencing (see our website) IN THE TEXT, not with footnotes; no "ibid.", consistent formatting! Make sure to offer your own words, do not copy from anywhere.
