Is a Picture Worth a Thousand Words? (FYS)

Global Studies and Modern Languages & Literatures

Is a picture really worth a thousand words? Underlying this common expression is the assumption that the visual trumps the verbal. Our social media age seemingly bears out this truism, with certain images going viral and precluding or defying the need for words. In this course, however, we will critically examine the relationship between text and image, whether one is “superior” to the other, and whether they can indeed be considered separately or are in fact always codependent. Students will engage in both individual and group work, complete analytical as well as creative assignments, alongside activities that take them beyond the classroom.

Cases illustrate how analytical models can help assess service operations, redesign service processes, and establish systems that ensure an excellent customer experience. Assignments emphasize business communication skills deemed critical by employers
