That's All Folks

Today was the final class of mass communications. We had a small final exam and handed in our last word. Mark then, for the first time, gave us a 10 minute break! We were given the choice to come back and ask questions or to leave and be done for the semester. I chose to return to class and listen to the conversation. I greatly enjoyed learning more about Mark and his ideas.

It was amusing to see the faces of students when Mark mentioned a final exam. I hate having to self evaluate myself, so I actually found the exam challenging. I tried my best to evaluate appropriately, however I am often too hard or too soft.

Moreover, we handed in our last word assignments. During class however, I came up with so many more things to write about. We discussed the blogs and if we liked the process of having to write in blogs or if we would prefer writing in microsoft and then printing it all out. I felt that the blogs were an interesting and new experience for myself, and most likely other students too. It also forces students to think about the message they are writing. Issues of plagiarism, and liability come into play when putting your work on the web for millions to see. Furthermore, it also gives students a chance to experience first hand, what individuals behind the media are doing. We are given the chance to portray a message to viewers, to an audience and be the ones in control.

The last day of class was great and I felt it ended on a really good note. Thank you to all.
