I am a senior in my last semester in the Surveying and Engeneering Dept. I will graduate at the end of this semester with a major in surveying and a minor in construction. I am taking this course as a required class. Journalism plays a large part in everyones lives. I am hoping from this class to learn about the workings of journalism so I can be a better end user of its products. I most likely never write for a news paper or any other media, but this insight will give me a better perspective on the journalism process. The english skills I gain from this class will also be helpful in all aspects of my life.
