1. How was the
entire learning experience in this module for you? Did it meet your
expectations?
The five months I spent to learn this module is definitely a worthwhile
experience. We (the students) were not only sitting there in the classroom to
have lectures, but we also had the opportunities to discover and learn about
the history and development of various media industries. Furthermore, the basic
theories of mass media effects and issued that were taught in class could be
very useful in everyday life. Therefore, the lessons taught throughout this
module certainly did meet my learning expectations.
2. What were some
of your best memories/experiences in this module? Why? What did you gain from
these experiences?
The classes were generally conducted in a way where it inspired and
motivated students to explore further in this field. At the same the
presentation of the learning materials enables us to understand it better and
remember it longer. Apart from these, the class activities were largely group
activities which besides promoting teamwork also encouraged us to express and
share our ideas and knowledge with one another. Through these activities,
sometimes members in our group manage to come up an idea which others have not
even thought of. This helped us to widen our knowledge in this subject.
3. Name at least 3
key takeaways for you from this module.
Learning this module has been an amazing
experience. My brain has absorbed so much information and I have had the chance
to learn so many things about mass communication. Here are my three takeaways
from this module:
i.
Able to distinguish between mass communication and mass media.
ii.
Able to recognize the roles mass media in people’s everyday life (Individual
assignment: critical/cultural studies approach to studying films/music/literature).
iii.
Able to state various types of mass media as well as the factors
influencing mass communication process.
4. What are the
areas that the lecturer can improve on to make the module better for future
students?
In my opinion, the lecturer has been excellent in doing his job. The lecturer
always explains the points clearly and his learning materials are very well
organized and interesting. Besides, the lecturer gives the students plenty of opportunities
for asking questions about the tutorials and assignments. Hence, I believe that
the lecturer is ideal on all the aspects.
5. Was this module
helpful in preparing you for future modules and your degree in the future?
As I am intending to do Bachelor of Mass Communication, this module has
been indeed very helpful. This module has enhanced my interpretation and
analysing skills, teamwork, video shooting and the list goes on. I find this
module to be very helpful as this module serves as a basic and fundamental
element for me to continue my degree in future.
