Looking Back the Autumn ARW

I cannot believe that my fall term as a freshman is going to be finished! Time flies.
This term was busy because of the ICU festival, but it was so fun.

Trough this ARW class, I could improve my writing skills.
Especially, I found my weak points of my essay writing.
Considering them, in the next term, I want to be careful not to be so abstract,
and I want to find more sources than I did in this term.
Also, through Race readings, my vision was widen.
I had not reconsidered about the definition and existence of race,
so this class gave me a great experience for me. This experience will be useful in the future.

In fact, I had been afraid of this class before it started because
I had heard that Mark would give us so much homework.
However, I felt that the amount of it was not so horrible, but reasonable (but not easy).
In addition, every time we see Mark, he was so kind and friendly to us.
Therefore, though I was so nervous when I did my 20x20 presentation, I could enjoy this class pretty much.

Mark, thank you very much for your compassionate teaching through this term!

  1. Hi Erina,

    Nice final ARW reflection! I am glad to hear that the amount of work was reasonable and that you had a good experience in the course.

    On this blog, you have written thoughtful summaries and reactions on all of the readings and left a record of the step by step process of your essay as well. Nice work!

    It was a busy term, but I hope you were able to learn many things from Autumn ARW to take forward to your future!

    I hope you will continue to blog like this and record your reactions to what you learn day to day!

    Mark
