Students have been urged to take the practical aspects of their courses serious to enable them become authority in their fields of study.
A Broadcaster, Sunday Kolawole gave the advice during a Practical/presentation on “Radio and Television Programme writing” which is a course for 200 level students of Media Studies Department at Bamidele Olumilua University of Education Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti, BOUESTI.
Kolawole who is a Broadcast Journalist working in Ondo state, advised students not to take their engagement in practicals as punishment but something that prepares them to become experts in future.
He lauded the leadership of the department for putting up such avenue where Students can test their abilities in radio and television production through practicals.
In her remarks, the Acting Head of Media Studies Department at BOUESTI, Dr. Omowumi Olasehinde said the practical/presentation was to prepare and groom the Students in radio and television production, as future broadcasters.
Olasehinde urged them to persevere and endure the rigors associated with the course, saying it will prepare them for the task ahead.
She stated that it was part of the determination of the school management to build Students who can compete favourably with their counterparts after graduation.
Speaking on behalf of the Students, the class Governor, Moses Gideon said the practical/presentation had broadened their knowledge on the best approach to achieve quality radio and television productions.
According to Moses, though executing the practicals was challenging, the observations and corrections made would guide them in the future.
Some of the practicals centred on television documentary, radio drama, interview programme, sports, among others.
