In class today, I sought to identify which academic disciplines influenced my three Gateway Course works. My current Repurposing Essay draft is influenced by the following subject fields:
- English: 50%
- Business: 10%
- Communications: 12%
- Sociology: 10%
- Other (unidentified): 18%
I believe that my current Remediation work is influenced by the following subject fields:
- English: 50%
- Business: 8%
- Communications: 12%
- Statistics: 2%
- Music: 5%
- Performing arts technology: 10%
- Other (unidentified): 13%
I have not had any academic experience with performing arts technology, but I felt the need to include it in the above list since my Remediation is a podcast. Some skills I need to improve in order to best present my Repurposing and Remediation works include:
- Learning how to best synthesize these independent subjects into one cohesive body
- Figuring out how to best work music into my Remediation podcast
- Storytelling with a clear point
- Identifying skills learned from disciplines that apply outside of the specific discipline e.g. learning perseverance from my work in the Men’s Glee Club
