Unit 11: My Thoughts on the Course and Blogging

My thoughts towards the overall the course was very interesting and enjoying. For instance, the majority of the topics that were covered were impressive only because they were related to social media. A platform that I’m constantly using on a daily basis and made it a habit to incorporate it into my overall life. Indeed learning more about this specific topic has made me more aware of all the small details us individuals tend to be distracted by, such as media literacy, niches, advertisements and so much more. In fact, made me realize how big of an influence it has over our lives as well as the time spent when being on social media when we were given as assignment to track our interactions on different platforms for twenty four hours. In addition, this course has expanded my knowledge towards not just social media but entertainment, news issues, advertising, mass media development and industries, perspective on audience and media literacy. All in which us individuals should take the time to be educated on these specific subjects. Furthermore, my thoughts towards blogging was pleasing since I was able to express my thoughts or opinions in a different kind of platform that I didn’t previously have an account with. Indeed, engaging in blogging could be useful when finding other individuals who share the same interest or understanding. Moreover, one thing that could be improved to make the course better is enabling for students to go back into their quizzes to review the questions they got incorrect or even missed. This way it can allow students to study their mistakes and prepare for future exams in order to prevent making the same error. Besides that the course was extremely helpful and successful in delivering its purpose.  As mentioned the majority of content that was taught was attractive and well explained. All in all, I was surprised by the online nature of this class, since this was my very first online class throughout my years. In fact It turned out even better than I expected. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.
