in general and how it can benefit me in
the world of public relations.

about all of the other concepts I will
have to be good at to have a career in
public relations.

5. I learned that having good ethics and

morals are a good quality to have in
public relations because there are many
public relations practitioners that do not
have that quality.

6. I learned that there are many different

departments and firms that a public
relations professional can work for, and
not all PR professionals do the same
thing.

7. I learned how important communication

is. Communication, in all of its forms, will
help me in the world of public relations. It
is important to know how to
communicate well and how to
understand communication.

release/press release and why that will

Before this class, I honestly did not know

do. The past, present, and future of
public relations is all different and
important.

11. In Dr. Nixon’s class, I learned the most

about public relations because she
related it to our lives. She let us do things
in groups, let us participate in class, and
kept me interested while she was
speaking. I believe all of the tools I
learned in this class will make me a
better public relations professional in the
future.
