Mr. Reisner's approach to the various topics in Multi-Ethnic is very different from any other professor at Florida International University. Reporting in a multiethnic community class requires that you have an open mind and that you don't get offended by anything that is said. Professor Reisner dares to say and ask things that no one would say publicly and that in retrospect opens the door to a sea of discussions.
The class explores the many different stereotypes created by our own generations and society itself. I can't help emphasize on how much this makes a class interesting. Everyone openly discussing what they hear or think without anyone getting offended. What's most enjoyable is that you get to hear the different views from the different cultures. It helps us better understand the people around us. Everyone at some point has experienced the stereotypes we talk about making it easy for us to discuss. The class is also interesting because of the experience we have to go through. Putting ourselves in an unfamiliar environment that makes us uncomfortable and writing/talking about it. It's challenging because who wants to be somewhere that makes us uncomfortable hence giving us something to experience, write and talk about.
I think this is a good class for any reporter to take. It helps open your mind and explore the thoughts that go on in your head out loud.
If there was one thing I could change about the class would be to challenge us more. Reisner did some test's at the beginning of the semester to help us see what our stereotypes were and I thought that was interesting. To see everyone's result and discuss it was interesting. Something I would have liked to have seen more of. .
Overall I think the class is great. Thank you for this experience.
