Hello Everybody!

It's mid-term so I thought it would be a good idea to take the pulse of the class. I'd like each of you to compose at least a 400 word post in response to the following questions. You must address each question. 400 words is the minimum post.

1. Using plenty of adjectives and also lyrics from a popular song, describe your impressions of the course so far. How would you describe your experience of the readings, screenings, lectures, discussions (Twitter and in class)?

2. Has the course material challenged, reinforced, surprised, baffled, you-fill-in-the blank, your existing ideas about gender, sexuality, and media representations? Please remember that you have seen a range of media representations in this class -- mainstream and independent and or "alternative."

3. What has been the single most engaging reading/topic so far and why?

4. What has been the single most difficult reading/topic so far and why?
