What I'm proud of at work
I have lots of good SFQs and they are improving each year.
I have lots of nice things students have said about me.
And I’m sure my colleagues would say nice things if I asked them.
But what really matters to me is what my students DO.
The work they produce
The jobs they get.
The lives they live.
Have I succeeded in helping them become what they want to become?
Now it’s a little early to see how I’m doing on this. My first students are graduating this year. But there are already some things I’m proud of.
Many of my first year students were disappointed in their marks for an essay project when they did good but traditional essays. But my job was to help
them become creative advertising people. The expected answers wouldn’t cut it. Their next essays included seeing the evolution of the treatment of
women in advertising through the lens of Plato’s allegory of the cave. Another described Cialdini’s principles of persuasion through a fictitious online diary of her
disastrous attempts to get a job using them. A third described the history of VW advertising from the perspective of a member of the SS.
I was really pleased when an employer recently phoned me to say that one of our students knocked them dead in the interview.
But the best is what they produce in terms of advertising and the thinking behind it. See attached pages for some examples I'm particularly proud to be associated with.
