    I'm going into second year in journalism & Spanish.

    The journalism parts pretty good but some modules are a bit tricky (Sociology of the news was my own problem). It's a good course though. Only about 18 hours a week. Most of the lecturers are sound.

    I don't know anything about the French part but from what my friends told me, it's good enough.

    What do you reckon about the need for a laptop?
    anybody in you class bother to use one in lectures?

    I'm going into third year. It's all pretty decent really, once you understand that the language bit is a big part of it (I thought there was a pure journalism course this year... I imagine the points were mental though.)

    Yeah, so, I dunno about a laptop. The majority seem to have them but never use them, you'd never see someone whip one out in a lecture for example, plus DIT Aungier St. has loads of computers so I wouldn't stress.

    You don't need it for lectures anyway. There's loads of computers in the Aungier St library and there's also the newsroom. The lecturers will show you how to save work onto the DIT server. All you really need is a memory stick.
