PR Writing class

This class has been extremely helpful in both my degree and my future. It gave me real world experience with a client, deadlines, deliverables, the media, and working as a team. It has been stressful and difficult being in college and having 4 other classes along with this project AND other homework due for the class, but overall I think my group did as well as it could and we have a lot to show for our hard work. The assignments along the way were helpful towards the project as well, and helped give me the background knowledge I needed to write press releases, features, letters to the editor, etc. Overall I feel like I've learned a lot in this class, and I know it will help me in my internship, my last year of school, and my career.

Group Project

This group project has been stressful and exciting at the same time. It's been very difficult to coordinate all 4 people in order to get work done, so some people ended up doing a lot more work than others in the process. I'm one of those "take charge and get it done" type of people so I didn't like waiting around to hear if someone else was going to go ahead and do something. But overall it was a really good experience and helped me learn a lot about what my future career is going to be like. The actual work involved was challenging but I am happy to be able to build my portfolio. It was very exciting to see our work directly in papers/websites. I hope our efforts were enough to raise more awareness for the organization!
