So as part of our Professional Practice module we have to write 1000 words about what we have gained from it and what we thought of it. I personally thoroughly enjoyed this module, actually i loved it, i loved it so much it was my favourite day of the week. All the other girls thought i was joking but i really did enjoy it, its all about what you need to know for when you finish which in my mind is VERY valuable information and if you don't know it you will be kicking yourself later.
Anyhow i opened my word document and because of all the information in my head i started writing random sentences which made no sense so i thought that i would right it on my blog because for some reason i tend to right better on here, i think its because there is a chance that someone might actually see it and will judge me.
So on the first week we had an introduction to the module by Kate which was very interesting, she gave us lots of tips about the industry that are good to know, about various things involving starting up your own studio to the taxes. This is what got me excited and thought this is a good module and that im going to enjoy it.
Second week we had a CAD workshop by Fred which unfortunately wasn't very helpful for me as we were doing beginners stuff and ive been using CAD for a good 3 years now so im past that stage, not saying im a pro or anything but id say im good enough. On the third week we had a presentation on how to build/write a blog which i was a bit late for actually (oops) but when i did get there i logged into my Google account as its connected to blogger which was the website we were using and 5 mins later i was done. I was slightly disappointed because i thought we were going to be taught the way to write and set up our blog for future use and if we wanted to use it for our jobs or hobbies. But it got me started nonetheless as i already have 2 blogs i haven't been finding this too bad, the only difference is this one is strictly for uni and the others are for personal use. On week 4 we had a lecturer from the journalism school talk to us on how to write a press release which was very interesting as i didnt really know what a press release was until then and he was very informative. I cant quite remember right now what he said as i dont have my notes with me but it was interesting nonetheless.
Week five was one of my favourite classes by far, we had 2 lovely ladies from the employability skills sector in our uni and they were just very upbeat and fun but were also teaching us at the same time. Allot of people felt very awkward that day as they were being put on the spot but thats what its all about stepping out of your comfort zone and just saying what you think is the correct answer even if it might not be. I found their take very refreshing and helpful.
Right now im going to skip to week eight because i don't have my notes with me and i also think we missed one of the lectures because our tutor was absent. Right then, on week eight we had a lecture by a lovely girl called Shayna Begum which recently graduated from our university. She was lovely and had some amazing artwork that she had done in her final collection. She also spoke about how it has been since she graduated which was great because she is so relevant to us.
If i haven't said it already, as a whole i have really enjoyed this module and have learnt allot from it which i think will be very useful for future reference. Now i just need to finish doing my business cards and pro forma . This has helped, writing it down on here, don't know why but yay! it did.
