In the sixth week, I had two deadlines: an essay report for Foundations of Public Relations and a final podcast for Making Media. It was an incredibly draining week for me, but I hope that everything would work out.
Thursday has arrived. Each group would release the final audio podcast and received comments from classmates and Pro. Felix. Ngoc and I (the group's main editor) are really well prepared and ready to release the group's final version because we knew we wouldn't be able to modify the podcast after this lesson. My classmates observed after the audio presentation that my group's podcast had a 70-90%. That was also the point that my team set out to get from the start, therefore everyone on the team was happy. However, it had been a shift. Teacher Felix would not provide feedback directly after class because he wanted the groups to be able to modify and revise their audio as accurately as possible based on feedback from their classmates. To be honest, I'm not satisfied with my own performance. So, it seemed like an opportunity for me to correct my own mistake. I recorded my audio immediately after the class and emailed it to Ngoc to trim and edit the audio again. We also shortened the sponsor by lowering the intensity of the background music and the duration of the sponsor.

My colleagues and I swiftly moved on to revising the podcast script after double-checking the audio version. I was the primary person who would responsible for this section, and Mia would be the one who designed the audio thumbnail. After completing this section, I realized that I improved several soft skills such as, Editing and rewriting lines, distributing time by each segment, allocating tasks to each member, music citation, etc. The most recent work required completing a self-reflection of 300-400 words and inserting the audio thumbnail.
The deadline for submitting our task had arrived. I was feeling better than I had been halfway through all the deadlines. I instantly started working on the remaining subject's assignments in order to complete them because I actually needed a full of Sunday rest without worrying about deadlines.
That was pretty much about my sixth week. A week full of assessment, worrying but also productive. What about you guys? How was your past week?
