JRMC 7010 Portfolio
What a great class to start my pursuit of a Emerging Media masters degree.
The writing, reading and subject matter played to my strengths and helped me feel like I didn’t have to learn something totally new right away. That has changed with classes with more technical challenges, but much of JRMC 7010, fortunately, was similar to what I’ve done throughout my career.
