My opinion on the learning in Media:

Our style of learning in Media Studies is different to that of my other subjects. In Media we do a lot of group work and gather our collective thoughts in order to understand the task at hand and we pool the resources as a key revision tool for the exams. Currently we are doing a lot of paste exam questions in order to prepare for our exam, We are learning how to break down the question at hand in order to understand it better aswell as how the layout the structure of our answer. I like all of the learning in Media but my favourite is project work in which we either gather collective research in groups or we do a practical task such as moving around the class and working together.
