Mastery Journal Assignment: Month 11 Final Thesis Project
The final month of my mastery journey at Full Sail University has encouraged me to journey forward and accomplish the goals I have set for myself as a Digital Media Producer. The final course in my journey is the Final Project and Thesis.
The first week’s lessons were:
· Academic Style Guides
· APA Bibliography Guidelines
· Four Models of Public Relations
· Media Effects Theories
Those lessons prepared me to complete my thesis development assignment and discuss public relations theoretical frameworks.
In week two the lessons were:
· Social Media Branding
· Scaling Social Media Engagement
· Abstracts and Executive Summaries
Those lessons prepared me to write my thesis abstracts and executive summary, along with discuss and improve my social media presence on key sites like; Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
In week three my assignment was to create a Pecha Kucha presentation for Marc Jaye’s The Blue Note Sessions project. The discussion assignment required me to create a resume and cover letter for the type of career I want to have upon graduation. The following lessons prepared me to complete the assignments:
· Building Powerful Resumes
· Writing the Cover Letter
· Careers in Public Relations
· Visual Resumes
Each week the virtual class recordings helped me understand how to complete my assignment and discussions and week four entertained me with a clip from Kool and the Gang song, Celebration.
Week four’s lessons were:
· Wordpress Design Guidelines
· Wordpress Categories and Tags
· Web Optimization
· Improve Your Wordpress Navigation
· Professional Content Placement Standards
Those five lessons helped me complete my final thesis paper, and discuss my fellow classmates online portfolio and website.
I am glad I chose to earn a Master of Arts in Public Relations from Full Sail University. I will encourage any person looking to get key skills in this field to attend this college. The instructors will challenge you with their curriculum, and strategies to help you complete your final thesis capstone project.
