Q- What is the most important thing you have learned in this class?

A-

In this paper, I will discuss the most important things I have learned within Dr. Adams Writing in Mass Media lecture at Gust University. My name is Yousef Seadoon and I am a 21 years old student at GUST. Writing in Mass media is considered a major subject for me as am a PR student.

Considering this a Mass media course, surprisingly, the most important thing I have learned was not only about writing within mass media. The first day Dr.Adams stepped in class, I thought this course will be a nightmare. He was challenging and intimidating, not because he had a huge sum of information to teach us, besides that, he had a new way that we haven’t encountered before. He put us in group and made us teach ourselves. Each group was responsible for a chapter to prepare with a guideline to give to the whole class. This has taught me many things, to become familiar with the way of teaching, also, when one prepares for a chapter to teach and gives a lecture on, the whole chapter is printed within his mind. It made it easier to learn all sorts of information. The adversity that we had been afforded by the different types of students in the class had helped us figure out new ways of teaching based on everyone’s personality. The class have turned out to become more than just a lecture that students would want to get over with. We have become a Family.

The way this has benefited me is that I have learned both the basics of Writing in Mass Media and also the details within them. I have learned how to speak to audience as a journalist, how to understand my target audience. This part has affected me so much because in order to achieve and type of reaction to any subject, understanding your audience is crucial. I can now persuade anyone with any point of view solely by the fact that I can reach them with my writing. I have also learned how to do research. Doing research is another important aspect because it adds Ethos’s to your article. With Ethos’s I mean that you basically build credibility to convince that reader with proofs of why this news is correct or important. We have worked in writing a news report which have benefited me greatly. I know now how news is written with all the different techniques used by journalists which have opened my eyes much wider to the real world. When I hold a newspaper in my hand, I know what each writer is trying to do thus giving me a clearer picture of what to believe or not to believe. I can emphasize more on what I have learned in this class because it didn’t change me a student of mass media only, but as a person ready for a future career. Being a leader is something you cannot learn, but something that can be molded out of person you are at the moment if you work on it. Thank you Dr. Adams for you unusual way which flourished from intimidation into a great experience so far.
