End of Semester, End of Sanity: A Media Educator’s Debrief

Exams are graded. Projects are in. Sanity is questionable.
In this reflective episode of FUNK !T – Mindful Media & Communication, I unpack what worked and what absolutely didn’t in this semester’s media and communication courses across different Unis.
We discuss:
Why students struggle with engagement—and how field trips and guest lectures save the day
How AI and roleplay workshops beat traditional lectures every single time
The real dilemma: How to stay engaging and deliver theory
Lessons from the d.school approach and what I’m changing next semester

It’s raw, real, and slightly too honest for a course evaluation.
