Final Reflection

In this course I learned many different things from my original field of study. I am a chemical engineering major and I am used to studying math and science. I took this course because I heard from a friend that it was very interesting and I thought it would get me away from my math and science classes I had all this semester. It turned out to be totally different than what I expected. I did not expect it to be so much on feminist theory, but that turned out to be very interesting.

I am very happy to have taken this class. When I came into this class I really had no concept on what feminism was and what was involved in feminist studies. Now that we are done, I can understand further the magnitude of the issues women need to fight for. Especially, after listening to some of the presentations this week, I understand how much women are dismissed in the work place. That was one of the biggest things to me, I want to go very far in my career and now I fully understand the accomplishment it is for a women to become an authority figure in her workplace. Everything in this class was new to me and normally I would not like that, but this turned out to be one of my most interesting classes this semester.
