UCI Impressions of The Media and Popular Culture Content Discussions

Part One: Applying Concepts

In about 100 words, please reflect generally on your impressions of the media and popular culture content. As part of this reflection, and recalling our conversation about popular culture as a site for (re)producing social norms, why is this clip from The Office funny?

Part Two: Reflecting on Your Paper

Briefly discuss what you plan to do in your final paper. Having completed your rough draft, what did you choose to focus on as your topic/themes? Also, take a look at the paper check up to see what you might need to edit. What do you think you have done well? What do you think you can improve before you submit your final paper?

Part Three: Parting Thoughts

This portion of your discussion is mostly useful for me for planning purposes. You can be as detailed as you would like, but I would like some information about how the class went for you overall. I hope that you enjoyed the class, but if you did not, that is okay! If that is the case, though, I am sorry. 

1. What was a topic that was particularly interesting to you in this class? Why?
2. Was anything surprising?
3. Was there a topic that was especially useful in terms of writing your paper? How?
4. Was there anything in this course that was/is/will be helpful in any of your other classes or future endeavors? What? Why?
