Reflection on Media Culture class

Despite its name, Media Culture can be quite an enjoyable class. The course teaches us to look deeper into matters and, especially, to understand better the power of media. I'm not sure about the importance of this class as a core subject, perhaps it is way too specific and there is little to learn despite the long hours of class; it's the same method taught over and over again- the ability to explain our thoughts, to understand ourselves and the power of media, as well as to find our own words to stand up for our beliefs. I think the class has been repetitively teaching these skill sets. Not that I have a problem with it- other subjects has been way too intense and this was good off the hook as a more relaxing subject.

Unlike others, I managed to keep up with Mr. Yap Sau Bin's lectures from the first class and I actually find his lectures interesting. Although I did not understand the question very well and I've only learned it when Mr. Yap Sau Bin gave a more thorough example of what should be in the report when we've finally sent it... I guess that's the only downside to it. Obviously, I would choose Assignment 2 over Assignment 1 because of this. Also, the fact that Assignment 2 was broken into three questions week by week and the short post requirement makes it way easier and preferable compared to Assignment 1.

All in all, this subject has been quite an interesting journey. Thank you Mr. Yap Sau Bin and Ms. Helena for being so kind to us and devoting yourselves so passionately in teaching this subject.
