Identify a strength or strengths in your assessment: I think a strength in my assessment is identifying power within the media industry. I think I was quite good at putting my point across and referring back to the question. What are the areas you need to improve? In my assessment I could go into a bit more detail by using specific examples when explaining and also evaluating the theory. What do you need to focus on for your next assessment? Next time, I need to focus on revising the theorists as I didn’t know the theory off by heart and therefore couldn’t explain the theory.
