DevCom is the NEW THING!

As students taking BS Development Communication in University of the Philippines Los Baños, many will approach and ask, “What is DevCom?,” “Is it like MassCom, but with a heart?,” or “What jobs/opportunities will you get from taking DevCom course?” At first, we have no idea what to say. After weeks studying, we now have answers to those questions. Here is a video introducing Development Communication and the top three questions answered by BS DevCom freshmen students.

Am I a flower that bloomed–or withered?

I believe we all have our autumn-like days.

And for me, that is perfectly okay. Looking back, I wrote in Week 2 that I need to further improve my qualities and skills as a writer. It still holds true today. Reading and writing isn’t my forte. Doing the lab exercises for DEVC 11 was not easy for me and most of the time, I do them under pressure (by cramming) just to finish the exercise.

However, I did like what I did.

I remember having fun doing the AV script for TV news. It was stressful and will take a lot of your time due to the frame by frame analysis. But when it was my time to do my very own AV plug, I had challenges but nonetheless I received favorable comments from my lab instructor. I believe it was the highest score I got out of all the exercise I did. I then realized, writing is actually fun if you know what you are doing.

My updated self-assessment

5IVE THINGS I want to tell to the Julius from Day 1.

Approaching the end of this semester, there are things that I realized for myself. These are new things as well as the same things all over the again. To my past self, to the Julius from Day 1, here are things I wish you knew from the very start of the semester.

Making Progress

At the beginning of the semester, I felt clueless and not up to par with my classmates in terms of being a development communicator. Prior to entering this program, I thought I was adequately prepared because of my background as a campus journalist, but it turned out that I still was not, and that I also had a lot more to improve. Inch by inch, output by output, I began to shape myself into the development communicator I aspire to be.

In terms of qualities, the area I lacked in the most was in being interested in and loving to work with people. As someone who is shy, I tend to dislike having to talk the strangers, which is a no-no for DevCom students since we are required to work with them for some of our outputs. For this semester, I vowed to work on this, and now I feel a lot more comfortable with approaching people and talking to them for interviews and such. I also became more curious and inquisitive because being in DevCom opened my eyes to the realities of life, and made me realize that I should take a second look at the things I encounter everyday. In addition, I also became more industrious and resourceful due to all the outputs we were required to do, as well as the numerous setbacks we faced in completing them. Lastly, I also became more service-oriented because in DevCom, I realized just how privileged I was compared to other Filipinos, which was why the desire to serve them through my work burned a little brighter.

As for the skills, I improved the most in organizing information, because I now find it easier to sift through data and sort them based on their relevance. This skill came in handy in doing the outputs for our lab class, especially whenever we used different media. Other skills I improved in were gathering data and verifying/clarifying information, because I now felt more comfortable in interviewing other people as well as retrieving and validating information from legitimate sources. Lastly, although I improved a bit in the proficiency in using communication tools and devices, I still feel that I did not improve enough because my skills in using those tools are still not that good. However, I am still looking forward to the coming years because they will serve as more time for me to hone the needed qualities and skills to become an effective development communicator.
