Lecture 1

Ah the first lecture of Introduction to Journalism 1111. This first lecture was my very first at the University of Queensland. Good times. 

I was not however my very first Uni lecture, as I have previously studied at QUT (creative Industries) but that dark phase was behind me. 

After arriving late to my very first lecture of my very first subject at my very second uni, I found myself in the schonell theatre. The hall was not empty, nor full. The lecturer not dead, not dull - Bruce Redman was on stage. 

He discussed the overview of assessment for the subject. The media use diary, the blog (this one!) and a factual story and more. 

That was the summary of the first lecture. An overview of assessment and the future subject that was to come. We all received a hand out for the subject, including the same information that could be found on BlackBoard. 

Was an easy first lecture. It might have been hard to take in any additional information, what we would actually need to know for the subject, but it would have made the lecture worth attending. Everything I learnt in that first lecture I could have easily learnt at home on BlackBoard.

That is all.
