I have learned a lot in the last 12 weeks.
There were times where I felt confused and questioned the module structure. Looking back at Week 1 Reflective Writing, positivity was key in the midst of chaos. It was important not to lap into a state of lamentation.
On hindsight, communications is as ambiguous as it is scathing. The reflections trains one to question. Could this all be about the individuals ability to evaluate? The individuals interpretation would sinuously resonate with others and thus excel in the field?

A lot of evaluation has to be done and I have to learn to sieve through the facts before I can present it.
I learned a lot from the diagram on my Week 6 Reflection. Referring to the diagram, the four main categories, defer in terms of factual, emotive appeal and interests. Subconsciously, we tend to question (5w and 1H) when reading. What stood out for me was this: What discipline is it from?

I look forward to next semesters modules.I will need to pay more attention to the modules as I have to pick what I would like to stream into next year. I have realized that “Contemporary Approaches to Media and Communication” is largely a reflective module. It forces me to sit down and review what I have learned every week at class. It is a little funny because that is exactly what I needed. To stop living according to the flow and ebb of the social tide and face certain
