Description of the Course
The main focus of the course, however, is on self-development, so the short video lectures are supplemented by a great deal of additional material including links to videos, articles and self tests. These give you the opportunity for active involvement, as well as for further personal study, allowing you to adjust your learning path according to your own interests and needs.
By the time you have completed the final self-examination, you should not only have acquired a great deal of in-depth knowledge of the modern ‘propaganda machine,’ but also the ability to accurately assess your own vulnerabilities to all of its workings.
