In the past 4 weeks, I was constantly learning a great deal of materials in Terry’s New Media New Asia class. While the things I’d acquired knowledge of are too immense to be summarized, here are some of my greatest takeaways:
1) I Learned How to Learn.
To begin, I realized that even though my classmates and I were given the same set of instructions for our assessment, our preferred styles of expression are vastly different. During the peer review time each week, there was at least one person who favoured text as their form of presentation. I, on the other hand, am more inclined to using visuals in my work.

They have put in the time in attempting to show the best of what they’d done so as to help me better understand their work. I know of one of my peers who stayed up through the night to look through lecture readings and complete the working maps in order to prepare for the class the following morning. Unfortunately, I did not mirror the same respect given to
