Reflection
I found this unit quite difficult to get through, the reason to this is because of the topic. The topic was the influence that Indonesian artists gave towards information. This may sound easy to accomplish however it was almost impossible to find reliable resources in the internet during the research. It was just so hard to find good information. That also made the essay quite difficult to write for me. But in the end, I had to do my best and I wrote the essay with the information that I had. Personally, I wasn't really satisfied with the grade I received for this essay. I wasn't that satisfied because I worked really hard for it. I spent hours trying to find the information for this essay and yet the score I received was just satisfying. I at least know I could have gotten a better grade one of the criterions, maybe two. You would understand this if you looked at the attachment above which has my score. But I guess my hard work wasn't fully enough, maybe it was my fault for choosing a difficult artist. Maybe there were other artists that were much easier to research. For the essay itself, I guess I could have improved my grammar and made it less opinionated. The essay was supposed to be a informal essay, just information. I guess that was why my grades weren't that satisfying, I made my essay have more opinion than it should have. Therefore I guess what I need to do in the future would be to review my work more, to make sure that my essay fits perfectly to what was being required. Despite all that though, I actually learned a lot. I learned more about Indonesian artists and how they influenced Indonesia. It was quite interesting to learn all that.
This task can be linked to the fundamental concept intercultural awareness because I studied on the influence that Indonesian artist gave towards society. Music is surely part of culture, therefore this quarter I have learned more about Indonesian culture. From this unit, I have became more aware that Indonesian artists have contributed a lot for their nation. They cannot be underestimated, they are just like any other artist. Learning the influence that Indonesian artist gave to Indonesia has surely raised my awareness on both Indonesian culture and history. That is how this unit has relevance with intercultural awareness.
