When I started this class, I didn't know what to expect. I remember learning the first day that we had to blog at least once a week, comment on other's blogs, take online quizzes, and etc. I was overwhelmed after a few weeks and it was getting harder for me to catch up. For me, it was a problem because I barely even went online and it was hard for me to actually express my thoughts in a blog. I didn't like the idea that other people were able to read my blogs. I would've have felt more at ease if we had to hand in our essays. I actually learned a lot from the videos Prof Gaunt showed us in class and the ones she posted on the group blog. The ones I absolutely loved the most was the ones from TED. My favorite has definitely got to be the Sarah Jones video. I also enjoyed all the guest speakers Professor Gaunt invited to class. Not only were they inspirational, but they provided us with motivation. My favorite guest speaker was Josh Klein and how he hacks basically anything and everything.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed being part of this class. I learned a lot about cultures overall and just life in general.It has taught me to be more open to conversations about race and gender. Every day that I went to class I came out learning something new. I really enjoy having Prof Gaunt's presence because she's so enthusiastic and always has something up her sleeve. What I would suggest for this class is that students be allowed to participate more. What I mean by this is that there should be something similar to a fishbowl discussion where we can just freely discuss things relating to what we have just read.
