    Presentation feedback from Karen:
    “Your presentation was well thought through with good references to a range of media practitioners – some direct quotes or examples would have improved this. You also included your reflections well.
    You are on the right lines for doing well at this module – you have some good ideas which have some serious theoretical underpinnings. Some more time and effort could lift you to a 1st.
