TOP REVIEWS FROM GATHERING AND DEVELOPING THE NEWS
Very beautifully designed and informative. All professors are learned and interactive. Its just like sitting in a classroom
Highly recommended. This course is a fast track and full of knowledge for aspiring journalist.
Great content, but implementation of "Peer Eval" system is very spotty and slows down the learning process.
This was really good course. It was very detailed. I do think that some of the peer evaluations should be more specific.
