Reflection 1

During this meeting, Emma reminded me of pointing what should we know in the progress of watching crime series, instead of repeating something I have mentioned in the issue paper. Honestly, I was confused when the first time Emma told me. I planned to show the dramatic and exaggerated parts of crime series in the beginning, but soon I knew that I couldn’t do it. I am not a professional criminalist so it is impossible for me to point out these differences. If I am going to do so, I should introduce the knowledge involved in these crime series first, which is enough for an issue paper. Also, introduction of crime series ought to be my original intention to write this issue paper. However, I didn’t understand that until the meeting.

The reason why I choose this topic is because I have watched many kinds of crime series. I want to take advantage of this class to know more about them. It is indeed interesting, but the amount of materials is big and the time is limited. Plus, I have worried about finding the rightest annotation for a long time. I need the material is highly related to my issue paper and it won't take me too much time to read at the same time. In the preparation of fourth annotation, I planed to use a film made by Discovery. But after finishing the film I realized this was not what I want; I must find a more suitable one soon. Although I found a better one later, this material also takes me a lot of effort to understand it first and then explain and summary it in my own way. This time I truly realize criminology is broad and profound. It is a good chance for me to know more about an interesting knowledge but hard to take a grasp of it.
