The second student driven session was enjoyable too

The news was the topic of the second student professor team. The hilarious opening rap-video made me a little bit scared; almost regretted I said earlier that people learn best when they have fun.

The professors: Teppo Nieminen, Yulia Pak, Markku Laskujärvi, Joanne Wong

But the music video was really fan, and was followed by well prepared presentations on different aspects of news. The audience seemed alert, not sleeping or playing with their electronic devices.

This team showed super fast news report production

The team work was challenging like news production in real life is. Time is short, and the given preconditions demanding. The teams tackled the challenge well or very well, some teams showed also their remarkable improvisational theater talents.

The audience was again good and the professor team took advantage of this in an exemplary way helping to trigger debate useful for understanding and learning.

Some important areas were not covered though, like censorship. There is always this problem preparing a presentation when the topic is broad and time short: to go deep in chosen areas and ignore some, or to cover all relevant areas and take the risk to be superficial.
This team chose depth and can't be blamed for that. A hint for the future: If you know you don't have time to cover some important topics, give the students links to some resources where the topics are covered, a list of recommended reading/viewing.

To summarize: a very well planned and executed class, very communicative and inspiring
