Course Coordinator :	Prof. Dr. NİLAY ULUSOY
Course Lecturer(s):	Instructor ERHAN KONUK
Course Objectives:	The main objective of the course is to give vision on the making of a radio programme through the introduction of the structure of a radio programme. Although this is not a course about the structure of the radio stations, the structure of the stations (the positions in a radio station, radio formats etc) will be examined in order to situate the topic in a wider context.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Will be able to define the concepts of radio prgramme and programmer.
2. Recognize the definitions of different positions in a radio station.
3. Recognize the differences between different positions and job titles.
4. Will be able to name different types of radio programmes.
5. Will be able to name different radio formats.

Course Content

This is a radio programe creating course in which general structure of a radio station is examined. This course aims to teach radio program production processes through theoretical lectures, hands-on studio work, and project-based learning methods. In this course, topics related to radio programming and broadcasting are taught through interactive lessons, case studies, simulations, and workshops, while students' achievements are objectively measured through written exams, project presentations, and performance evaluations.
