Reviews
It was my pleasure to be a part of the course!
thank u !
Public Relations history to present was briefly covered. But the examples taken were based from U.S. so could relate a little less.
the videos are too long most of the time i get distracted , it is better to make the videos short. The best vedio is the one that does not exceed 3 minutes so that the viewer does not get bored.
