How today's class went

I found today's class really engaging  because , our lecturer, Madam Belinda Dentaah checked notes and also asked why we are studying broadcast journalism and I bet you will laugh when you hear what some of my colleagues say 😀 

Week eight’s lecture

 It was nice to finally meet Miss Debra’s in person.Shes lively and very beautiful just like I envisioned.Most of us got to campus early but couldn't find a class for our lecture.Fast forward,Miss Dentaa arrived and found us a lecture room.Once we were all seated, she began taking attendance one by one with Esenam as the first she called.Apparently,Miss Dentaa was also asking for our social media campaigns and pages for record keeping.One by one ,she called us to her table and asked us questions.This exercise took about two hours leaving us about just an hour for lecture.She also spoke of the dress code that was expected of us as her students.We used the remaining hour to discuss the advent of New media, and soon class came to an end. It was a good day!
