Mass Communications

I am in Mark Lipton's Mass Communication class at the University of Guelph-Humber and as an assignment I have to write a blog expressing my thoughts and feelings of our class discussions, assignments, and books. Although I have only attended one class I really think I'm going to enjoy it. Mark really knows what he is talking about and he tries to make things entertaining so we can relate and understand the them better. I am really looking forward for our next class!
But, on the other hand, I am actually kind of nervous for this class. It's just that he is giving us so much freedom and I'm really not used to that. At high school my teachers told us exactly what they wanted us to do for every assignment and project. But, in this class, it is totally different. He has given us a list of the assignment and that's all. We don't even no how long they are supposed to be. When someone asks about how long something is supposed to be Mark responds, "As short as possible and as long as necessary." Like, what is that supposed to mean? I don't know. I guess I'm going to have to wait and find out what this class is really like.
All I can say is, it's definitely a different class then what I have ever had.
