Course Evaluation

This semester in J198 we covered a lot of ground. We learned the skills necessary to produce multimedia content, as well as the best ways to promote it through social networking and SEO.

What I liked best about this course was how loosely structured it was. We had a lot of free time to work on labs, could add extra time when projects took us a long time, could bump up other projects when we finished them quickly, etc. With this kind of work, it is essential to have this flexibility.

The most frustrating part of this course was the teamwork. It would be nice if, especially at the beginning, we had more individual projects. This would help everyone develop the essential skills, as opposed to some people taking the back seat and not learning the skills necessary for later in the course. It would also help with the final group project, as each member would have all the skills and tasks could be delegated in a more fair, random manner.

Overall, this course was amazing. It gave us skills essential for the growing journalism industry in a way that gave us freedom and flexibility. I would highly recommend it to future students
