Over the semester, this class has taught me so many things about media. I learned about different types of legacy media and how that media has evolved into the media we use today. I learned about media ecology and how to “brand” my social media. The two most interesting/important things I learned from this course are how much media I use on any given day and how media is used in my future profession. These are things I will continue to think about in the future. I now have better understanding of all types of media and realize how important media is in people’s everyday lives.
This course wasn’t what I expected it to be, but I enjoyed it a lot. The discussions were always interesting and the blogs were always thought provoking. I used to look at media on a very surface level, but this class challenged me to look at it in a whole new way. I would definitely recommend others to take this class!
