Be Great

— Brandon Freed

JMS 430 is a digital journalism class that I am currently taking. So far in class, we have discussed what makes effective writers. We have gone over AP style and have looked over papers where their were many grammatical errors, so we could correct them. We have discussed what makes effective writers and what styles of writing catches the readers attention right away. For instance, it’s important to say the main point of what you’re writing about right away and this is called a hard lead. We do a lot of class discussions as well and I like that because it gets us all involved in class and makes going to class more fun hearing from different peoples perspectives on certain things. So far, I have really enjoyed the class and I appreciate that our professor really wants us to understand the material and become better writers, so we all excel in the real world after we graduate.
