First Week - Getting Back Into The Swing

When deciding to take this course I wasn't really sure what to expect. Public Relations, why would I need to take a class on that? But when it comes to any career in business, I can see this class being very beneficial in the long run.
My blog, for this first one, is going to just express my thoughts on the introduction assignments and a little on the book.
When I took the wrapping off of the book, I flipped to the first chapter, to mainly just see what we will be going over for the next week. And it seems like there will be a lot of very valuable information that, as I have already said, will prove to be very beneficial in my career after college.
As for the assignments that we did for this week, I thought that the scavenger hunt was a good way to make sure everyone has either read through the material and kind of let it sink in. I also thought that the personal homepage assignment was neat. Except coming up with the three media sources, I really didn't know what to put in all of them. I guess I need to start hitting up media sites more often. The main sites I seem to hit up are on movies, I am a huge movie buff after all.
I believe that it will be pretty fun interacting with people in an online class. This is my one of my two online classes for this semester, but I have online taken one prior to this semester. In that class, there was no interacting with the other students in the class, unless you wanted to of course.
