Why I Shouldn't Have to Take the Final
I believe that I should not have to take the final because I come to every single class, I always participate in class by answering any questions that I ask, and I always take notes. I also have completed every single assignment (post) and I also always do the extra credit. I am always on time for class and I take this class seriously just like I do the rest of my classes. I also spend a lot of time on writing my posts and put effort into them and make sure I have produced my best work.
This class has taught me to appreciate more of black music and the importance that African-American music has on black culture. I have loved learning about the history behind the music and just reflecting on the musical genius and talent of African-Americans.
