Wk 11 Reflect

Ziyu Wang

The course has now concluded, and I can finally think about and reflect upon what I have learned from this class. Professor Valverde is definitely an interesting character. Having plenty of unique experiences and an eccentric way of teaching, Professor taught us so much and more about fashion that we never even heard of. While classes are disorganized, it does not mean the lectures are messy and random, instead I think they are very proactive and engaging. Each week a new topic comes up that you did not even know has any relation with other topics, yet they are all closely intertwined together. There are a lot of great insights from the reading that really sharpens our minds, and as the weeks build up, it ends in a grand finale in the form of an exhibit that raises awareness of our actions when it comes to Asian American fashion and consumerism. Every students worked hard on the projects and made sure their designs and ideas are realized. I am sure everyone else has been just as inspired as I am through this course, and I thank professor for that.
