When reflecting back upon the first half of this semester, I think about how I really enjoy this class more than most of my others. I really enjoy the intellectual discussions we share on pieces from Rereading America and any other kind of opinionated discussions we have on other topics. It’s really interesting to compare ideas on different subjects, and from the things we have learned about so far has really given me an insight to today’s culture in a whole new way.
There is nothing in particular that I would change about the class, I like the setting and the way it’s structured and I really like the curriculum. This is probably the most interesting writing class that I’ve ever taken. You kind of learn in a different hands on experience, and I’ve enjoyed the papers we have written thus far. My favorite paper I’ve written probably has to be the “Analyzing Popular Culture” paper. When I picked the Levi’s Legacy campaign commercial for my basis, I liked being able to research the background on how it all started and I could relate the freedom and liberation of the idea. That has definitely been my favorite overall.
I like the overall vibe of the class. We all respect each other and our opinions in a great way, and I feel like I’ve personally taken on some great skills since I’ve begun the course. I really like our teachers style and I enjoy the company of the class as well. I think my grade does correspond to the effort I put into the class, definitely. I think it’s important to immerse yourself in the curriculum of the course because I feel like you learn best that way in the end. It’s been great this first half the semester, and I’m looking forward to the next following half.
Morgan, I agree! I think this class is a great way to intellectually voice our opinions. However, i do feel some people lack respect when it comes to talking over each other. It is really cool that we can learn to see different points of view on very heated topics and learn to understand why people feel certain ways. I feel like we can learn a lot about people this way and expand our social skills when it comes to discussing a topic that maybe not everyone agrees on.
ReplyDeleteYeah I really think this class is one of my favorite this semester. I like the way every one has very strong opinions which creates really interesting conversations. The stuff we read is pretty interesting and I like the questions that my peers ask. I feel that this class is a breath of fresh air compared to all the other garbage out there in the world. I do also enjoy our freedom to pick topics that really relate to us. That might be what I like most in this class. WE get to write about what WE want. Looking forward to the next coming weeks of our semester together.
