1. My learning experience from using the Wall Street Journal and having quizzes on them instead of using a conventional textbook is a good experience. I have learned more from the newspaper than I would have ever from a textbook. Naturally textbooks discourage students because it's "just another dumb textbook" and it has a lot of learning material in them that teachers do not cover in class and expect the students to read on their own. Most students will not read the chapters fully. When using the WSJ, it gives the students more understanding of today's world and things that are happening around us. Reading the paper did not affect my schedule at all because I have an hour and forty-five minutes in between classes so I read the stories then. It actually keeps me entertained for that amount of time.
2. I'm not sure if I will continue subscribing to the WSJ because of the money. If my parents are willing to pay for it, then I will keep subscribing. My mom sure does love to steal my newspaper and read it. More than likely I wont continue with it because I already get the Orlando Sentinel. I think one newspaper is enough.
3. I really don't have any suggestions for you to make the class better. I loved how we went through each mass communication there is; form books to the Internet.
4. I am definitely going to pursue a career in mass communications based on this class. It gave me a broader view on mass communication and helped me to decide that I really do want to go into a career for communications.
