#Dabbing with my Fav Professor !
COMM 465 was an amazing experience! This was actually my first class that specifically had hands on experience with my career of choice. I aspire to become a news reporter and then producer once I graduate college and Dr.Z has really shown me what it takes. COMM 465 showed me that Team Based Learning is extremely important to thrive in this field. There were instances where I did not necessarily agree with a team member but we were always able to work it our. Problem solving is crucial in any job field. I also learned how to better accept the ideas of others and this class has even given me the opportunity to get my creative juices flowing. I have also made some wonderful friends in COMM 465 and do not know if I would have done as well in the class without my partner Min Shin. I am so glad Dr.Z lead us together and I plan on staying friends with her even when she moves back to Korea. Another life skill that COMM465 has taught me is the ability to meet deadline. Meeting deadline, especially as a journalist is crucial! It is imperative that we get out there and shoot, film and write the script before our deadline! We had a few weeks to turn in each package and I know that the deadline may just be a few hours when we actually get out there in real world. I also really loved all of the videos Dr.Z showed us throughout the semester that portrayed the good, the bad and the ugly of news stories. I cannot wait to get more in to mu field and I plan on really bothering Dr.Z whenever I need advice!
