You’re JOUR1111 course presents:

“Reflection of the first JOUR1111 lecture:

An Introduction”

From the ‘Lecture Reflections’ Blog series

Hi I’m Troy McClure Ashlee Langdale. You may remember me from such places as; your lectures, tutorials, or maybe, around the campus.

So we need to reflect on all of the lectures, including the first (whoops).

Well it all started when classes usually start, in week 1 when I awkwardly sat next to someone I didn’t know - and still don’t know – for the very first time. The lecture included discussion on the course profile, blackboard and important dates such as public holidays and mid-semester breaks. We were told that we were to start a blog and twitter account for assessment. Because there was no one to talk to, I recall saying ‘yay’ to myself sarcastically.

Additionally we were enlightened with the knowledge that ‘we are the journalist’. This then proceeded to be chanted rhythmically and increasingly louder by all occupants of the theatre as we joined arms, made fists and walked strongly out of the room to conquer the world of media (not really).

So I did enjoy the lecture, after all I decided to return in the following weeks. It was a good start to an interesting course and what’s more interesting will be seeing how it continues – and how I continue.

Meanwhile, here's an awkward moment ...

I hope you enjoed this short info-banter, continue following for additional nonsensical updates.
