Identify a strength or strengths in your assessment: I have provided a good overall understanding of the question, where question one has good detail and analysis. Moreover, in question 4, I have shown my level of understanding of the theorist George Gerbner and how he relates to the question.   What are the areas you need to improve? In order to improve, I must ensure my answers are in more detail, as they were too brief and lacking in enough analysis at times. Also, theories could have been evaluated more. I could have questioned if it was helpful; if I disagreed with any of it; why do I agree/disagree with it. In addition to this, further comparisons needed to be made, because it will allow me to reach into a level 3 and get up to 15 marks.   What do you need to focus on for your next assessment? For future assessments, I must remember to work on my timings. I should ensure that I give myself enough time more analysis and try to complete questions in a shorter amount of time. This will be of great significance as it gives me more time to proofread and check my answers thoroughly to notice any mistakes or areas which may need correcting or added to in more depth.
