Majors: Economics and Anthropology
Hi everyone! I am a second year student majoring in economics and anthropology. Because I am an international student, I have some problem in writing effectively. That is the reason why I want to learn how to write academically. I am learning how to create artwork too. Below is one of my recent artwork.
In this course, we are going to learn many things including "practice metacognitive reading of a variety of texts, both public discourse and academic discourse" and "develop habits for engaged reading" (Haas). To sum up, we are going to study how to appropriately annotate, how to do reflective analytical writing, and how to change our mind to be creative and engaged with ideas in the readings.
By studying disney films, we are also going to learn many ideas and opinions about gender roles and how they change according to the change of the public's opinions.
