New YouTube uploads
I've just added a few more of the animations you did last year to the TCC media YouTube channel. Go there and post some comments - who can get the most views?
I'd like to add some of the Music Videos too - any objections to this please let me know. They'll probably be taken down anyway as they are getting tough on copyright. It's for educational use so fear not; none of you are in danger of prosecution!

REVISION SESSIONS
Get along to one or more of these...
Wednesday 3th June - from 3.20

All sessions will be in room 101. Content to include: feedback on essays, exam technique, revision tips, wider reading, re-cap and consolidation of knowledge and, of course, some Media Frisbee!
Please post a comment to this post if you intend coming to any of these sessions so I have a rough idea of numbers.
Happy studying! :-)
