As a new student in the Master's program in Digital Media, after the first week's orientation, I have become familiar with the detailed learning processes and related operations on Minerva. These materials not only clearly display the content for the entire semester but also provide detailed descriptions of various assessment methods, allowing me to define my learning goals and focus for the term. Each week's course folders are systematically organized with all the necessary learning resources, such as lecture slides, workshop details, and recommended reading materials. This structured layout enables me to effectively plan my weekly study schedule, ensuring that I can keep up with the course progress and be well-prepared for each week's workshops and assignments. From critical reflection essays to group video projects, each assessment is designed to deepen our understanding of the role of digital media and enhance our practical skills. I am particularly looking forward to completing the group video and portfolio related to our chosen research collection, which will not only enhance my teamwork abilities but also deepen my understanding of digital media strategies. The post-class reading materials provide us with a wealth of information and research materials to help us analyze how personal connections and algorithms shape our digital selves in the digital age, and critically think about how technology plays a role on social and cultural levels. I look forward to further enhancing my understanding and skills through these well-designed learning activities and assessments in the coming weeks.
