Week 3

Group work and discussions always get me excited! They seem to be an important part of the class. We read about the different forms or modes of income we could face on medium. It was quite an interesting topic to read and learn about. It talked about the various psychological aspects to pricing as well, that i felt made complete sense. In the class we later split into smaller groups in which half the number of groups discussed the pros and cons of working a freelance job, while the other groups discussed about the pros and cons of a full day job. Our group had to talk about the pros and cons we would face in a full time job in our industry. It proved to be a surprising discussion. At the start of the discussion most of us had a fixed opinion about the topic, but as we started listing the pros and eventually the cons of a fixed job we realized both the sides were quite abnormal. Both the sides had really good pros and some really bad cons. As Yazan put it, “Both sides aint rosy!”. To sum up, both the written material given to us to read on medium and the lecture we had in class were informative, interactive and exhilarating.
