This course focuses on helping students acquire a range of skills necessary to produce TV programs. These include research, program development, scheduling, camera placement and movement, editing and post-production. This course also will cover basic production design skills such as sets and costumes. As part of the course requirements, the students will produce a short program for public screening wherein they will work cooperatively with clearly defined production roles.
The course is designed to give the students descriptive knowledge about Bangla phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and writing system. It will help them to acquire listening, speaking, reading and writing skills of Bangla language and finally they will have a comprehensive knowledge on literary analysis. After completion of this course the students will be able to know the sounds and sounds system of Bangla, understand the word and word formation rules, get input on Bangla sentences and its meaning, and present and write papers on literary genres.
Bangladesh emerged from a series of conflicts among different groups of people from a geographical area that constituted British India. This course examines the series of events through which the conflicts played out leading to the creation of a new country. We do so by asking questions: who, what, when, where, why? Who were individuals and groups in conflict? Why? What led to war? Who engaged in the fighting? Who supported which side? By asking questions and seeking answers, we can better understand the emergence of Bangladesh in 1971.
Questioning and discovery are integral to active learning: gaining knowledge and skills through effort and activity, whether individually or in groups. In this course, students are expected to take responsibility for learning, and take the initiative to gather information, make decisions, express ideas in writing, and perhaps revise those ideas, rather than simply listening to lectures. To this end, students in this course will be expected to go online, visit the library, and visit other sources of valuable information, including the Liberation War Museum.
