Week 2, Discussion Topic 4

Q Topic 4: Insights & Questions about the Portfolio Assignment Your draft Reflective Essay for your Academic Portfolio (or the stand-alone Alternate Analytical Essay if that is the assignment you're doing) is due at the end of this week. In our Week 1 discussions, everyone shared their thoughts about some of the significant things they've accomplished and learned as Communication Studies majors. These conversations were intended to help you figure out what coursework samples to include in your portfolios and how to approach writing about them (or for the alternate essay, what to write about your experiences generally in this program). Please share any of the insights that you have developed as you've begun to draft your portfolio essay. For example, are you seeing a common theme in the works or courses that are of value to you? And how do you think this theme will serve you in the future? Have you had any surprise insights as you've considered and evaluated your course of studies? Your thoughts may help classmates develop theirs. Please post your initial response to this discussion prompt by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, changing the title of your post to include your name and your project's proposed topic. Then, respond to the initial posts of at least two other students by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday. Continue your conversations through the end of the course week.

I think that I have been inspired and motivated to begin the drafting of my portfolio essay by means of ensuring that I remember my career aspirations as an aspiring Public Relations Specialist. This is because of the aspect that I cannot empathize with the audience until and unless I start empathizing with a Public Relations Specialist. It is important for me to put myself in the shoes of a Public Relations Specialist so that I can understand about the things which go through the mind of a Public Relations Specialist or even an aspiring Public Relations Specialist.
