Willkommen zu meinem letzten Projekt für Deutsch im Agnes Scott College! Ich habe ein Podcast gebildet über Mutter Courage und Frühlingserwachen. Ich habe Sekundärquellen verwendet und schreibt den Podcast mit meinem Wissen über den Text. Ich nahm auch von meiner Präsentation für die ‘Spring Annual Research Conference’ im März, 2021. Hören Sie sich am nächstes […]
China’s economy and global status
Prior to traveling to China, I wrote about China from cultural, economic and political perspectives. The GBL 200: China’s Economy Today course brought together students from several disciplines, and when writing assignments we integrated our own unique sources of knowledge. Though GBL 200 focused on economic themes, economics is made from analysis of several subjects, […]
Applying theory to the U.S.-China trade war
In the second semester of my second year, I was in my penultimate course for my International Relations major, POL 326: Approaches to International Relations. We had studied realism, liberalism, green theory, feminist theory and how research about IR is carried out. Our final project was a research paper applying a theory to a case […]
To Iceland and back
As first year Scotties, we travel to a place outside of Atlanta through a Global Journeys trip. From examination of globalization, ethics of travel, identity and culture, and imperialism, we study to understand and are present to experience how we exist in the world and why different issues exist too. After a semester of study, […]

A crash course in public relations
My first try with branding was in elementary school. My best friend and I, armed with plastic pizza slices and mini skillets, decided to open an imaginary restaurant. Before the spoons and spatulas were stolen from the cabinet, we ran to take printer paper, using markers to draw up a brochure. It became ‘BB&D’s’, a […]
Learning my first coding language
During my second to last semester in college, I am taking my first programming course: Python. This is what I can do so far, among other things: It’s been a process to understand the syntax of coding, but in Introduction to Computer Programming, we have moved through design, testing, implementing, testing and analysis of programs.

Questioning the American education system
One of Agnes Scott’s signature curriculum components is SUMMIT, preparing students to be a change agent in a global society. As first year students, leadership development consists of the Legacy experience, and enrolling in an LDR 101 course. Mine highlighted leadership through writing. This post is based on SUMMIT’s tenets and my course which honed […]
