Alexis Gayle DB 5

In this class, I think there are a lot of things going well. The reminders are very convenient for time management especially for this semester since I am taking 12 credits and my classes are back to back throughout the week. In terms of my assignment due dates, I have been a little stressed finding actual space in between my work schedule and my time free at home to do assignments. I end up doing the assignments and discussion boards on the same day it was assigned to get it out of the way. I have not really been in contact with any of my peers in this class, but eventually I would. The discussion board commenting on each other is really cool because it gives me a small insight on my classmates opinions and personalities in a way. 

I am comfortable with it. I don’t think I would like to change anything at the moment. 

One song that I would like to add to the class playlist is Ariana Grande’s “no tears left to cry”. This song is so upbeat and out of the hundreds of times I listened to it, I always feel empowered. The chorus part after no tears left to cry is basically a statement to anyone saying do not feel sorry for being who you are and never let anyone put you down. The best part is I looked into Ariana’s explanation of some of her lyrics in the song and she deeply defends her points on women empowerment and strength that society fails to shine a light on.

This week, we are going to use the discussion board to check in about the class, any questions that you want to raise, and an option to contribute a song to a class playlist that I will use at the start/end of class.

Please share with us:

  • Something that you think is going well in this class — something to do with you, your classmates, and/or the professor;
  • Something that you would like to change or would like to see changed;
  • One song that you would like to add to the class playlist for opening and closing music. Share with us why this song is a good choice for a class in Asian American History (or, why else you suggested it).
