I have learned more in MCJ 102 as a graduate student than I did in any other graduate class. Perhaps it is because I did not have any public relations writing experience prior to this semester. Regardless, I was able to learn writing styles and perform assignments that I could put in a portfolio which enhanced my knowledge in interviews. This was hands down my favorite class because I actually learned an applicable skill rather than abstract theories that I have already forgotten. This class has made me look forward to taking other writing courses that build off the skills I picked up this semester.
I have learned a lot about myself this semester in terms of the field I have chosen to study for graduate school. I really enjoy public relations and I am confident that I will be valuable asset wherever I land a job. From an academic perspective, however, I have a difficult time studying topics such as theory and research just because they do not interest me as much. I know research is a valuable aspect of the field which I am going to try to get better at. Overall, though, I am proud of my progress this semester and I look forward to finishing the semester.
