After taking this ENG363W course, I feel as though I have completed and achieved many of the goals stated in the WPA outcome statements. First and foremost, our focus was Race, Gender, and Making Media as the title of the class states. I have also focused on different topics in each of my personal, individual projects: Disability and Media, ResLife and Media, and Invisible Children. I have been challenged not only to respond to various mediums, audiences, and topics, but also to use various new mediums in writing in order to respond such as blogging, making a documentary, as well as the always engaging hyper-essay. Writing in these different genres forced me to change the way in which my writing engages with the readers and my audiences. Through responding and "writing" in these different mediums, I have begun to develop my own voice as an upper level writer at Emory. In finding my own voice, I have been forced to continuously think critically. I wrote to learn, inquire, and communicate. I wrote to learn about how social and cultural groups and their knowledge and usage of media. I eventually learned all the different ways and reasons why these groups have been deprived of media and maybe are inept in the world of social media. Through my documentary, I inquired about a particular social group that I consider to be a huge part of my life and investigated how my fellow peers in these group saw the role of media as well as how they would respond (if any differently than I have been in class) about how education is currently using technology and media and how society is pushing these institutions to use media in an educational manner. In my final hyper-essay, I am communicating to my audience what I believe activism to be as well as what the activist group Invisible Children Inc. is does in order to ACTIVELY combat injustice. Through all our workshops in class, I have benefited tremendously from peer evaluation and group discussion. Even when my work is not shared, I benefited from seeing what my peers had been working on and learning through their work. I also ended up learned about various new topics and ideas in our global culture that I was not aware of before or was not aware of the significance in our growing, fast-paced, ever changing society. I believe this class to have been a huge benefactor to my liberal arts education here at Emory.
