Hsc300 Unit 1 Reflection

Decent Essays

For the most part I enjoyed my time spent in that course. I definitely plan on attending future screenings, as a community member. However, I do feel that the course has some room for improvement. My first suggestion would be opening to the public at a later time because it was distracting having other people in the room, holding conversations, while you were giving us feedback or instructions on assignments. Another suggestion would be possibly providing your students with examples of “A” worthy reflections because half of the time did not know what you were expecting of us and anything that came to mind while writing these critiques sounded like a research paper. In addition to examples of well written reflections, adding more detailed comments …show more content…

The reason why the film on Hedy Lamarr was one of the most interesting to me is because it shined a light on the flaws of our society, such as the importance of gender roles and beauty standards. It revealed how much influence a society has on an individual’s life. It had me feeling a wide range of emotions all the way from anger to sadness, which is what I believe a great film has the ability to do to anyone who is watching it.

Based on all of the films we watched, I have learned that issues that are still prevalent in our society, such as, gender roles, religion, and beauty standards are the ones that interest me the most. The reason I say that is because my favorite films to be screened this semester revolved around those issues.

Why or why not? I would recommend this course to other students and friends because it’s an enjoyable learning experience, but I would inform them about the amount of course work that is demanded from this course. And, if the course load worries them and is the only reason that is holding them back from taking the course then I would inform them about being able to attend as a community member, which I am sure will sound much
