I think the largest thing I’m going to remember from this class, is giving people the credit they deserve. Even if you don’t mean to cheat, or use someone else’s words, it’s always nice to get credit for something you did. I just got done writing an English paper, and in the past I would pass on citing everything, but on this one I cited everything I thought I should’ve have, I guess it’s a my moral compass, but from now on I don’t want to stress on plagiarism, just doing it right the first time.

Also, when I took an internship this summer, I had no idea the amount of emails I would be sending. The first time I sent an email, the lady emailed me back and it was all in red, and she described to me what was right, and what was wrong. There was more wrong throughout the email, but if I had taken a journalism class before then, I may have not ever needed that lesson from. Its crazy how much good writing skills are used throughout your daily life. Communication is key in the real world, and life, and after being in this journalism class with a professor that is very skilled and knowledgeable in the subject, it has taught me how to strengthen my communication, and writing skills.

I never got a’s on any paper throughout this course, but I believe I’ve learned a lot of lessons, and if I took this class again, I would be ready for it.
