Coming into this class, I had no idea what to expect. It was definitely. more interesting and intriguing than I initially thought. It has opened my mind and my eyes to a lot of new ideas and ways to view things. I was taken back by a lot of the theories that I didn’t agree with. As a woman I always thought I was a feminist but after reading those articles I now know that I am not. At least not to the extent some people are. This class has definitely taught me a lot. I think my biggest take away from it will be the importance of our language. How we identify matters way more than I thought it did. Our descriptive words hold a lot more weight in society than before. I don’t think I will talk to people the same way again. With knowledge comes a new level of respect and now knowing what I do, I definitely have a new level of respect for people. I did not like the format of this class. Once I became use to the open lab site it made me miss being on blackboard. I got so many emails form the class and so much spam. Also checking if I uploaded an assignment sent me all over the place. I feel like there was a lot of clicking around, whereas blackboard is one stop. I felt that I had to keep the class tab open on my laptop to remember to login and get the assignments done. I enjoyed the class but the structure did make it difficult to stay motivated.
