Communication and Journalism student, level 6 English)
Social Communication and Journalism is a profession
that is constantly being updated. Many people think that it is an easy degree,
but it depends on you and your engagement with the subjects. For example, if
you do not go to class, you will not learn so well.
Firstly, the most important thing to succeed as a
student is to be constantly up-to-date because you have to read, listen to and
watch news. It is not only for the classes but also for all your life. You can
listen to the radio while you are in the bus, for example listening to Caracol
Radio, an important news station. Sometimes in the classes you have to know
what happened yesterday or in the morning. The radio class is one example of
these classes.
Another thing that you have to do to succeed is to prepare
for your classes. The teachers give readings to you. You should read these carefully because they
are the topics of your next class. For example, in “Theory” you have to read a
lot, and there are many copies. When you arrive to class with the readings you
understand the topics better and you can have a discussion with your classmates
and your teacher. In “Semiotics” we usually do this; we prepare the readings
and we discuss them in class.
These are my tips if you want to study Social Communication
and Journalism and want to succeed. It really depends on you whether the degree
is difficult or easy.
