How has your perspective changed since the beginning of the class? It hasn’t. The readings were interesting and better defined and helped me to understand terms that I have come across more and more lately, such as cisgender, intersectionality, queer, and so on and so forth.
What will you take away from the course? Through communication we can achieve so much. We must listen to each other as well as talk to each other and take each other into consideration. Only then will it be possible to make the changes we need.
How did the format of the class affect your learning and your motivation? Personally, I find that I enjoy a classroom setting over an online setting. If I have a question, its much easier in a classroom to get an immediate answer as opposed to online. I found that my motivation remained the same, though with the current state of affairs and having been quarantined, working from home initially allowed me the freedom to spend more time on schoolwork. Since the “city” has begun reopening and business has picked up, I found myself falling a bit behind.
