The skill that I think I will apply outside of this course will be how to look at a news story with an open mind and try and understand where the story can from and who it changed to become the story that it is now.

Reflection
The most interesting part of the course? An interesting question. I think that my answer will be either the blogging aspect of the course or the keeping up with current events. I have never really blogged before and it was a good experience. It created an good environment where I could view others' thought sand opinions almost instantaneously. I also thought that it was really good to keep up with current events. I have always been interested in the news and keeping up with it but this class forced me to listen and try and understand how others' view the same source.

I think that's a good skill to take away from this class. Rather than reacting right away to the story and forming our own rash opinions right out of the gate, I think it's important to think about what you said as in author, audience, etc. and how it evolved so that we can form an educated opinion on it.
ReplyDeleteGood points Ben and Sam. Just as it's often a good idea to let that email sit a bit before hitting send, it is often the same in acting on rash opinions.
