What did we learn this quarter?

I think about this question everytime I get done on something. And it helps me to know where do I improved where I still need to work on, did I put all my efforts on it?

First, when I think about disadvantage or discrimination the first words that pop into my head is African American,Racism. Asian. I never thought about anything about native american before. And this class expanded my knowlege and opened a new prespective on me. Right now if I think about disadvantages or discrimination I will start to think about those minorities in each area.

Second,I read and wroted a lot in the class which the mian purpose of taking this class is to improve my wirtting. Practice makes perfect. Melissa pushes us to read and write and I think it is how we improve.

Third, I like all the group works and peer works. It gives me chance to know other people and I always learn a lot from the conversations with other people.

And the last I would like to make a little confession. Although most of the time I push myslef to work hard but I some times lose motivation during the quarter. Like I was late in class, I even missed the due day for the outline and it made me feel really upset. I should have check the due days on Angel regulary.
And it is great to work with Melissa and all the classmates in the class. Melisssa is so cool that she keep encourages us which made me have the courage to keep wirting.(It is very important for a international student, it would be horrible if a teacher keep saying my work is horrible cuz learning language itself is hard and needs to be encouraged.)
