I know its been a few weeks since I updated my blog but there hasn't been too much going on so I thought I would wait and then create one post for everything I've been up to in these weeks!
In applied media research we got our marks back for our presentation. We got 61% which I was happy enough with but I think we could have got a better mark. After looking at the feedback I realised that our presentation skills were good but I think we could have went into more depths when it came to our research. I think feedback is a really good idea because if I hadn't have got this I would have probably been pretty annoyed at our mark. Reflecting on the whole project I enjoyed the presentation but didn't enjoy the research as much. This is mostly because I love presentations and as I've said before I am confident doing them. The research just dragged on a little bit I feel and I think the module could have been completed a lot quicker.
Here is our Prezi:
In convergence teamwork we have been given the brief now and we are now in the process of creating our project. We have decided to do a campaign. This is because we decided to carry on the idea of war with this project and we though we could concentrate on the psychological effects of war on soldiers. Because we are at the early stages of the project we have only done a few small things. We are making a poster for the campaign which I will put up in my next post. Also we have created a Facebook page which is here.
Last week we had a tutorial week which was useful for everyone for a number of reasons. Although the numbers for the tutorials were low I think a lot of people used the time to catch up with work for assignments and dissertations, I did attend one event which was the dissertation work shop. This was very useful because I learnt how to approach my dissertation and also things like certain grammar to use and not use. It was basically the etiquette of dissertation writing. I think that would should have another tutorial week next year for both of those reasons and as a course rep I think everyone responded positively to it!
Unfortunately I was told that there wasn't a free space for me in the radio station that was suitable 2 weeks ago. I was really upset actually because I was looking forward to getting a show and playing some music! I have decided though that next year I'm going to make sure I get a show because this will look really good on my CV and I'm also really interested in it.
Good news in terms of the Malta project! We have finally.....got an email! Michael Harley contacted Keith and he has sent us an email. I'm really excited about this project because its slowly becoming a reality. Working in a TV Studio and Radio Studio in Malta this summer would one of the most amazing experiences of my life yet so I want to make sure this happens! I have emailed Michael Harley for me and the others interested to see if we can meet up with him to ask a couple of questions about the internship. I will keep you updated!
Finally I thought I'd mention my Student Voice Support Assistant Role again this post as I have been doing a lot of promoting for the Students Union. Last week I was promoting the Amazing Teaching Awards which is basically awards for teaching staff, support staff and course reps to recognise their outstanding contribution to their course. I really think this job has been useful to me so far because it has boosted my confidence, I have met so many more people and useful people to have in terms of networking, it looks good on my CV and it gives me skills in terms of teamwork and public speaking!
Here is a picture with a link to the Amazing Teaching Awards:
