DEBATE EVALUATION !

What are the main things that you've learnt about Media Studies through taking part? (Try to list at least three new ideas, theories, etc.)

well i learnt about the idea of freedom of speech and civil right, how this comes effect in society and in the media. I also learnt alot of polictical ideas through this debate and realised the effect the media has in polictics. it also reinforced the idea of hyperdomic theory and drip drip theory.


What other skills have you developed? (e.g. debating skills, team-working, researching, public speaking, etc.)Has it been an effective way to motivate you and to help you learn? Why? Why not?

i did improve my research skill and develope the skill of remembering things, as i did not read of a paper. being the captain taught me to 4get about my thoughts and think for everyone and i learnt to take responsibility of a group. its given me confidence as i want to do teaching when i am older but one of my fears were talking to a big group so this made me ovetcome it.

Rate your personal performance for...a. research/preparation; b. performance on the day, and explain why.
What could you personally have done better?

well out of 5 as a resercher, i think i did ok but i could have done much more and linked it all together. so i wud give myself a 4 out of 5.

My performance was ok i guess maybe i cud have linked it more to the media....so erm i say 4 out of 5. ye of course i could have done better. no such ting as perfect and 2 improve it i wud have made it based more on media.
