Last Class..Course review

Wednesday 2nd April, 2008

This was the last class of the PC and PR Issues and everyone was looking much relaxed as most of our assignments were submitted.

Today we had some of ex-students of this course coming in and talking to us about how did they get a break in the industry. they gave us some good tips about what to do after our course and i learnt one thing that they stressed on was an internship.

I feel they were right about an internship it just gives you a more insight about the industry and gives a good experience.

After that session i had my classmates who had participated in a debate on the topic "PR education is irrelevant, success in PR is determined by contacts and building relationships"

It was very interesting as both the opponents had goos and valid points to argue on and the debate was getting very steamy. It was fun to watch the debate.

In my opinion I feel that in todays world to come up you need to have PR education. PR contacts and building relations is equally important but to grow in this industry you need have the qualifications then only you can rise up.

Our last class ended with refreshments arranged by our university and we all said good bye to each other and hope to meet in november during our graduation ceremony.
