She was definitely someone not to be messed with; strict yet understanding and someone who knows her work very well. Just like what I perceived of her, she got straight to business by telling everyone that she does not like late comers and she would like to start her lectures on time. This, was not a problem for me as I'm usually punctual for lessons except for a few exceptional times. Her name is Professor Tanya and I have a strong feeling that she is going to help me and my friends to excel in this course.
The first lecture was a simple and understandable one as it was just an introductory lecture. I learnt the difference between Public Relations and Advertising as I always thought they were both similar- although i did not admit it in class for fear of embarrassing myself. I realised that you have to pay for advertising but not for public relations. I also learnt that more companies use the approach of public relations to sell their products instead of advertising as it is more effective. Maybe I will enter the field of public relations since it is an 'In-demand' job so that I can earn loads of money! =)
Overall, I enjoyed the lecture as it was insightful and somewhat easy to comprehend. Than again, it was just a first lecture and it might get tougher in future. But, I'm pretty sure that Professor Tanya will offer us her generous help and also, my friends and I can help each other out.
