Lecturer: Francesca Nathan
Comments for Module: very similar to nm2203 except this focuses on more generic PR strategies over social media. I wouldnt recommend taking this and nm2203, it’ll just be wasting your MCs. unless you want to, I don’t know, your life I guess. this would be a good module for people not intending to go down the PR route but are curious to what PR deals with without all the bs. workload was quite chill, just have to do regular readings and ask questions, marks will be given for that. the readings were manageable and useful, so just get down to work and read it.
Comments for Lecturer: Ms Fran is very detailed oriented. Assignments have to be typed neatly with the correct format, including reading questions. I heard this semester she has taken to give people 0.25 marks because they didn’t follow her preferred format. So take note.
You have to be super thick skinned when asking question because she can be quite passive aggressive. She’ll answer your question with, “have I not gone through it during lecture? Did you not attend lecture?” and then after you said you attended lecture she’ll be like, “then why do you still not understand it?”. So moral of the story is, heck it. Just ask questions!! I made the mistake of being too embarrassed to continue asking questions, and the concept I was confused about came up for exams.
I understand her cynicism because it would be unfair for people to skip lectures and think they can stall the class when they asked about content that was covered in lecture. Just feel a bit grieved, and it really deters people from asking questions and learning.
