MDST 3760

This was a very enjoyable course! I recommend it to anyone who is social media savvy and wants to learn more about how the digital world impacts identity and culture. I am not black or very involved within the community (though I was exposed to Black Twitter before), so this course was definitely an enlightening experience for me. Prof Clark is really understanding and really tries to get to know her students, and she did her best to change the course to accommodate as many people in the class as possible after everything went virtual, so I really appreciate that. I took the seminar version of this class so we only met once a week for about 2 hours. Every week, we would have a couple readings to do, and we had to sign up to do 2 Q&Q's (which were longer forum posts connecting the readings to some other article/video/topic and then posing questions to the class) and 5 discussion posts (just commenting on someone else's Q&Q) for the whole semester. The biggest assignment was the midterm paper where we had to pick our own topic and media artifact and analyze it.
