  8. a) My favourite class so far has been Event Industry. Personally I think this has been the most interesting. I remember it was the first class we had on our first day of the timetable and after Caroline had finished the lesson I felt excited about what was in store for the future of the course. As we were timetabled for it twice a week, it was a great opportunity in that class for us all to get to know each other. We learned the basics about events and it was great fun all starting together.

  11. a) My favorite class so far, through my events course has been Marketing. I find it incredibly interesting how manipulative and smart that big companies are and it has really opened my eyes to how the marketing and advertising world works. I also like how Kenny teaches the class and it is broken down into writing, listening and watching videos of commercials and analyzing them.

  24. I would say so far up until now I have enjoyed the marketing classes the most as I have an interest in promotions and all the clever little methods and unseen ideas behind the promotions. I Also believe that it is a vital part of being an event management as you need to you know your market very well, and the marketing classes are tutoring me well in this area. Also the lecturer also explains the content very well and I feel at ease and I am coping very well with it which makes it more enjoyable

  25. The subject I am enjoying the most so far is Events Application. This is because students tie and develop a more practical approach with their event ideas and establish responsibilities in their practical abilities.
