JOUR1111 Review


I found this course very informative, and actually quite fun. I learned a lot of essential background information regarding journalism and journalism practices, and I have enjoyed producing media and texts of my own. I feel I have gained invaluable experience from this course, and learned skills which will assist me throughout the rest of my career.

I must admit, my first impressions of my course (Bachelor of Journalism and Communications) were not all that flashy. I felt like in order to be a successful journalist, I was going to have to learn how to handle a lot of rejection, and learn how to be persistent like I've never had to before. I wasn't sure if I had what it takes. And to be honest, I'm still not sure. But I know that I want to try - journalism has been an important part of society since the beginning of time - technically, we document the workings and events of the world in our time - information that will be carried on throughout the ages. I could think of nothing I'd rather do with my life than take part in this process, in the most meaningful way I can.

I feel this course will help me to grow and learn how to uphold the integrity and quality of journalism in the future with the work that I do. I might even have the chance to help a few people, maybe even change a few lives in the process. I know it's going to be the hardest thing I'll ever do, but becoming successful in a journalism career in the future, is something I won't give up on working to achieve.
