I would say this course is very much out of my comfort zone as I usually stick to the science and math classes. However, after a few short weeks, I believe this class is the class that will allow for the most growth. I have set three goals for this class.
1) I initially selected this class based on the description. It will allow me to explore the relationship between media and humanity as well as the way that culture is intertwined with those aspects. I hope to be able to use this knowledge in further studies.
2) I have always struggled with my identity because to me, I feel like just everyone else blending into the status quo. I hope that this class makes me overcome this struggle through introspection and the assignments. It has already made me hone in on my place here as a female, low-middle income student.
3) In general, I hope this class helps me grow into a better student. I am naturally introverted so it has always been difficult to speak whats on my mind without planning the exact words in my head. In addition to that, I hope this course continues to further develop my reading skills, particularly improve my ability to read different pieces with specific lenses.
