MDST 3505

I took this course with the topic being Asian American Media Cultures. The course itself was unfortunately not as interesting as I had hoped it would be. You cover topics such as Model Minority Myth, Yellow Peril, and other topics prevalent in Asian/Asian American media. Once these topics are discussed once, they basically are all you talk about it for the rest of the semester but applied to different readings or films that you read in class. The films themselves that we're assigned were very interesting and informative, and the readings were pretty long and not that interesting. You have two short writing assignments, both of which you have a lot of creative liberty to write. You also have to do two presentations throughout the first semester, the first being about a specific reading in the syllabus, and the second being a creative project that puts everything you learn in class. She gives you three tokens, which can be exchanged for an extension, rewrite, or a skip. The class is pretty easy all in all, just make sure you go to every class or your grade will suffer. #tCFFall2021
