Week 15: Key Learnings

I can't believe the semester is nearly over! I have definitely learned a lot in this course throughout this semester, and unlike many other courses I believe that this information will actually stick with me in the future!
I appreciate all of the hands-on activities as those really helped me to understand the concepts we talked about in class. I feel that I have learned useful public health communication skills plus tools that will make me a more critical and aware consumer. I do find myself paying attention to and analyzing the numerous messages I am exposed to in the world. Our group project has been lots of work but very interesting and a great experience -- I enjoyed the fact that we got to put our newly learned skills to use to produce something tangible, and hopefully useful for our 'client.' I anticipate using many of the skills we learned in class in my public health future, especially formative research and audience segmentation, since there is always an audience to reach and formative research can help inform nearly any project/campaign/intervention. Thanks for such a useful class!
