Letter to the first year students

What do you know now, that you wished you knew about media coursework in the first year?

Dear first years,

Make sure that you keep all of the hand-outs and make sure they are adequately filled out because at a later date you will need to write about them in your blog and hand them in with your final piece of coursework. Also, regularly update your blog, keep adding new posts so you can do various different posts at the same time and go back to any you need to add to or edit.

Screenshot at every stage of your coursework and put them in a word document (add a brief summary underneath so when it comes to adding them to your blog you remember what you’ve done), you may not need all of the screenshots but at least you have evidence of your work and have a selection for what goes into your blog (it will get you more marks, the more detail you have the better!)

Good luck!! :)
