CLASS Overviews’:
September 13 – I liked how we are going to go over all
aspects of the Comm Department. This way it gives me an idea of which area to
go towards
September 20 – I-Comm seem like a lot of fun. (Hard work,
but fun) I plan on signing up. It was nice to see how professional a group we
have here on campus and that they work with real clients.
September 27 – News/journalism – it was interesting to learn
about, and I think it’s important to know but it’s not for me. I did enjoy
Brother Williams though.
October 4 – Video
Production – I have always been interested in video production. I was surprised
on the awesome equipment we have. It will be exciting when they get the new
widescreen cameras. I was impressed by some of the good work some of the
students have done. It makes me feel that I can learn to do that to.
October 11 – Academic Discovery Center – I was happy to see
how much they are willing to help us out. Sometimes I feel like I have no idea
what I’m doing, so just knowing that they are willing to help to all aspects
was nice.
October 18 – Public Relations – I was excited for this class
because I want to go into Public relations. After the Summit I was pumped to
hear what was said. It was fun to go over the different PR current events to
give us an idea what we could do. Ex: Red Bull space jump.
October 25 – Visual
Media – I loved Sister Esplin. Knowing all the things she has made and been
involved in was awesome. It made me want to take more visual media classes
because every aspect of Comm visual media is involved now days. Plus the fact
that’s the number one thing that former students wished they had more
experience in.
November 1 – Advertizing – I enjoyed the ads that were shown
and discussing them and how they are good or bad.
November 8 – Ethics – It was nice to learn what we can and
can’t use, though the most memorable thing was the Disney Copyright video.
November 15 – Internships – Made me think that I need to get
on the ball a little better to pick and find good internships and multiple
ones.
