Well... Media Ethics and Law didn't work out so well. The class was full of senior journalism majors with extensive knowledge of world events, both past and current, who all were well-versed in the language of reporting. On top of that, it was focused on Britain's journalistic past. I thought I wasn't caught up on my U.S. journalistic history... I don't even want to know how little British journalistic history I know. I've never taken a class that covered things of this nature and honestly I felt very out of my league. Once I heard we were to give a 20 minute oral presentation on a professor-given topic that counted for 20% of the grade, I knew this was not the class for me.
Don't worry though, it all worked out for the best. Upon returning to my room, I looked up my Assumption adviser's email to me and found out that the Feature Writing course I'm taking here already counts for the journalism credit back at Assumption. Essentially, I would be taking this Media Ethics and Law class as an elective because I don't need it in addition to the other. Also, I went to talk to my adviser over here to drop the class and he ended up being the professor for a class I wanted to pick up! Long story short, I'm out of that ridiculous journalism class and in an interesting history of fascisms throughout the world.
I lucked out today. Now it's time to look up fascism...
Cheers!
