MMC640: Final Thoughts


When I began this class 12 weeks ago, I was feeling overwhelmed and under accomplished.  I was having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.  The good news is, as I come to a close on my 18th credit of this 36 credit hour master’s program, I am feeling energized and I can see the light! 

I enjoyed this class and feel like I did accomplish all the major course objectives one way or another.  In the beginning I was concerned with all the multimedia and my ability to find the time to do good work, however; I found that using the multimedia to make the commercial was my favorite part of the class!  I found Photo Story 3 incredibly user friendly, and I would use it again for both personal and professional projects. 

I was glad that the final paper was completed in milestones, however; I didn’t use the milestones to my benefit as much as I wish I would have.  I underestimated the amount of resources I ultimately came across when researching my topic, which changed my initial ideas of how my paper was going to flow.  Because I didn’t account for that extra time, I ended up not turning in a rough draft to the writing center, which is something I normally do, and I know that hurt my grade.  My paper ended up sounding a little too opinionated rather than strictly based on formal research.

Even though my paper didn’t end up exactly the way I would have liked, I leave this class with lessons learned and a reinvigorated feeling of accomplishment and motivation to continue forward.
