Week 4 Reflection: Rise Peer Feedback




It’s very insightful to watch your digital story video and be able to see the similarities and differences in our career paths. I believe most online students in our program are adults looking for a second chance in life. Like you, I wanted to better myself and further my career. I can relate to wanting to do more with my life and move forward with a more lucrative and fulfilling journey. What really touched me is part of the reason you wanted to get a degree in MCBS was to give your daughters a better life. That touched me and made me empathetic to your journey. From that small statement, I am now personally invested in your career goals and will be a cheerleader from afar!

You mentioned you wanted to go back to school but you have interests in multiple things. What is it about Media Communications that made you realize that this was your passion? Going from nursing to aesthetician to media is so diverse! I find it fascinating that this was something that media is something that triggered your emotions and would love to know how you got there. Unlike you, I’ve always wanted to work in media and have worked in the industry for multiple years so I'm curious to hear about how you found this love for media. 

When it comes to your video, I think you chose great images to convey your script. I would work a bit at tweaking your vocal narration. It felt a bit choppy to me and the pauses between sentences was a bit dragged out. I’m not sure what program you used to cut the video, but maybe if you can, learn to move the photographs to give the story a bit more flow. Asides from that, I think that the images were a great representation of your piece.


The images in your piece represent your story quite well. I would use a full screen of these images to make the story more impactful. I also am now invested in your career path as I know that you’ve had multiple changes of heart when it comes to your goals. I am looking forward to seeing where this new career in Media Communications takes you and am excited to be sharing this journey with you! Although the reasons on how we got to this path are different, I feel like our goals are similar and hopefully we can collaborate in the near future!
