Reflection about the course
In this class, I learned about the four characteristics of culture. In class, we did a lot of group discussion, this leads us on how we think and talk. From doing group discussion, I know a lot about different classmate’s idea about how they think about culture, because we are all from different culture. I think this is a great way to study, since everyone has different view. After the group discussion, I learned from the teacher and start to seek about each of the term related about myself, for examples, my own culture identity and the culture shock I had, by knowing and finding better on my cultural identity, the first project is the cultural identity poster, and this is the first time for me to use glogster, I learned a lot of different culture from my classmates and had a chance to know them better now.
We had a lot of presentation during this class, and this helped our speech skill.From learning about movie, I noticed that there are various kinds of movie genre, for examples: sci-fi, comedy, horror, adventure, epic and action. I study art film as my genre; I think this is a very different type of movie genre. While I was searching, I find out that Art films are a type of movie that is very different from the popular Hollywood blockbuster movies.
Music unit is the most interesting unit I had learned during this semester. I studied various genres of music and their features in the last two weeks. For examples, my genre is the techno, a form of electronic dance music. There are so many different type of genre in music, such as heavy metal, pop, ballad, hip-hop, and soul. By doing this presentation, we had a chance to learn and to listen some of them, and we can find the right music to listen also is really improve the knowledge about music.
