In mass communications we have learned a variety of things. We talked about how the media is changing and what it is changing too. Also about the impacts mass communication has on us the people through different views like politically and culturally. We also touched on subjects like advertising, journalism, and media. This class was interesting because it talked about what is going on right now and what is going to happen not just what happened in the past.
I think one of the most interesting things that I learned about in this mass communications class was the unit when we talked about advertising. We did a few activities in class that I thought were really neat and helped us; the students really get a feel of what it was like to try to come up with our own advertisement and how to sell it. I found out that there is a lot more work put into just one single advertisement then I ever thought. First you have to come up with an idea that everybody likes for your product and that will promote the product well. Decide on where to put it and what audience you are trying to attract with this advertisement that is appropriate for the product. Also decide on what company you are going to go through that will put your advertisement either in the newspaper, on television, in a magazine, or on the internet. There are many choices and many ads out there today. We also talked about VAL’s and what category each one of us individually fall under and if we think these categories are accurate or to stereotyped.
I had fun in the class and thought it was interesting and useful. I loved how we did lots of activities with groups and not with groups to keep the class interesting and not so boring with a lecture every day. There was a variety of subjects and I would recommend this class to any of my friends.
