Why do you ask for visual media assignments?
As a student they are absolutely infuriating and I want to cry every time that one is assigned. Why do you assign them? Truly, I want to know, because these assignments are hell on wheels.
I have a professor for my current Poli-Sci course who loves giving us visual media homework to do (brochures, fact sheets, briefs, powerpoints), and they're awful assignments. I am not skilled at them, and consistently lose points on these over formatting, because I am terrible at graphic-design type work, and I can't ever seem to make templates in word work properly.
The instructor insists on submission of assignments in Word, and word brochure templates are awful. They always break. They always look terrible and I spend more time trying to fix janky formatting caused by a word-processor's poor ability to handle objects or information in columns or tables than actually writing the assignment up.
I would 1000% rather write an extra paper than continue to have to spend days every week working on these types of assignments only to turn around and lose substantial points on them because microsoft word isn't actually meant for graphic design work and it breaks every time you so much as sneeze in it's general direction, and the templates are awful.
So I have to ask - why do you assign these types of assignments? You know the formatting on them is going to be awful. You know they're going to be bad in general between poorly cited sources, and inability of some students to summarize and synthesize data into brief paraphrased chunks.
