This class has been a pleasant surprise for me. I've never really been someone who enjoyed writing for grammar, however, WRD 110 has made me change the way I think about that. I found that the class as a whole was fairly straightforward, but it was difficult for me to form a topic for my documentary that was interesting and created an argument. That was probably the hardest aspect of the class for me. I was surprised by how easy the final documentary was though. This is probably because the entire semester had been focused around our topics and we were forced to think about the project well in advance. I found my biggest successes with my research for my secondary sources. At first, I thought that my topic was really narrow and that there wouldn't be very much on it, but, once I found the right words to search for, I found many different studies. I was especially grateful to have found Tania Alameda-Lawson's article because that gave me a way to solve my issue. WRD 110 has taught me a special lesson on what type of learner I am. I have realized through the creation of this documentary that I am a very sensory learner. I need visuals, audio, and text in order to fully grasp a concept. This was very special to me because I now know how to study and learn for my other classes.
