On the Way to Comm. Ethics Success
This has been a great semester to say the least. In my opinion the early stages of the Communications Studies program at SJU have been a success. Being one of the first people to go through these early courses I would like to offer my survival guide 0f helpful pointers to keep in mind when taking these courses. I’ll keep it short and sweet and just offer my top 3 things to keep in mind, especially when completing the projects.
1. Take Chances. I can’t stress this enough. More times than not we do things that may not be totally familiar to a lot of people. Always look to do something creative that hasn’t been done before. These new ideas will translate into success eventually.
2. Let your personality shine. The projects for the most part give you a lot of freedom to work with things that you enjoy. You can completely cater the class to your likes and dislikes if you try hard enough. A project that reflects your personality will most likely be of higher quality.
3. Take advantage of the extra help opportunities. The class moves quickly sometimes so it is imperative that you utilize the lab hours to make sure the projects get finished on time. There are enough hours available outside the class period that time should never restrict the quality of one of the projects.
Hope this helps. Good luck to all those in the future. Thanks again to everyone who made these past two semesters extremely enjoyable!

THANK YOU.
Last week, I was completely swamped by students in various courses who all waited until the last minute and, with about forty-eight hours until their projects were due, wanted me to teach them how to use iMovie and help them with all kinds of serious technological issues. I know that’s my job, and I do enjoy it, but, well, when there are eleven of you and only one of me, I can only do so much, especially when limited by such serious time constraints. Best bet for all parties involved: come early, come often.
