Journalism 216

Being a freshmen in college, I had no idea what college life would be like. I am only taking three classes at LBCC and the one I have enjoyed the most so far is Journalism 216.

Journalism 216 is News Reporting and Writing. The class is taught every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:00-11:50. The teacher is Rob Priewe. Priewe teaches two other classes and he is an advisor the the Commuter.

My interest and Priewe's different styles of teaching has made this class one of the more enjoyable classes I have ever taken at any level of schooling. It helps that my dad is the owner and editor of the Jefferson Review and the Scio News.

I have learned a lot from this class. I learned how to write in a news story format (even though I'm still not very good at it yet) and what all goes into it. I've enjoyed looking at the AP style notebook. It's pretty neat to say the least. I've also enjoyed all the video and assignments that have been given. I've enjoyed writing news stories and what's great is this class makes you build up the courage to talk to new people, wether they be adults or peers. Probably the best thing I've learned and do in Journalism 216 is the blogging. Blogging is much more enjoyable then I thought it would be and it's pretty cool to type in "LBCC Athletics" and see my blog be on google! It's a way I can get my opinion out without getting physically attacked. Only verbally.

This a definite must take class for those wanting to be a journalist or just wanting to learn how to write. Having an interest in writing and journalism myself helps me enjoy this class more and more.
