After this semester, I have learned the importance of film in commenting on the state of society. Film is an all encompassing medium that reaches as far as any form in existence. I also found myself amazed by the amount of subtlety in art from this course. The minute details found in these films and the overarching themes they represent concerning race and ethnicity astounded me and taught me to watch and read with a much finer comb.
This course has also shown me a lot about the power of collaborative learning. Through group discussion, peer editing, and reading my peers' blogs, I've come to realize how much learning can be done by collaborating with others who may not look at problems the same way I do. My learning style must adapt to accept collaboration in a world where seeing the most possible perspectives is most advantageous.
Overall, I've seen myself grow both as a writer and a thinker in this course. It has taught me how to critically and emotionally evaluate issues of race in our society as they act in commercials, movies, and in public discourse and then communicate my views to the world in a convincing, clear, and positive manner.
