What people are saying

easy to follow

I like it so much , thanks The course is a well thought and masterfully set of lessons on the main principle of journalism: it talks ethics starting from maybe old concepts that surprisingly are still fitting today.Being a basic course, it is very easy to follow and finish.

Easy to follow and really good advice, which automatically reminds one why one wants to become a Journalist.

A highly informative, applicable& easy to follow course by absolutely knowledgeable professors.

michigan state university

Thankyou coursera and the Michigan State University for the opportunity.

I really enjoyed this introduction to journalism with lecturers from Michigan State University.

too much

Not too much of pressure and burden.

It would be great if we could have at least one short paper graded by the professors themselves with a limit of words so it wouldn't take up too much of their time.

?In Summery: The content in the lectures are a good but shallow overview of journalism, but don't expect to be challenged to do anything but fill in ovals and regurgitate questions.Not too much to learn here.

video lectures

I really like the video lectures as well as the added readings.

Great Good: The video lectures cover a nice variety of topics giving you a good introduction of journalism, ethics, and other important considerations for becoming a journalist.Bad: The entire course feels hastily put together.

feel like

However, there didn't seem to be enough interaction with the professors themselves, and the grading by peers didn't make me feel like I really deserved the grade I got.

The quizzes were also really easy, which again, made me feel like I didn't deserve the grade.

Plutarch said, that the mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled and I feel like that's how teachers in this course also see the educational process.
