This semester, we learned in depth about the immigrants that make up New York
City—their immigration and integration processes. Through conducting interviews
with immigrants and transcribing their texts, developing statistical profiles on
various foreign and native-born groups that make up New York City, and by creating
our own personal immigration stories, we gained skills both inside and outside the
classroom that helped us understand more fully the theories on integration and
immigration that we studied throughout this course.
On this page, you can find our feedback on all aspects of this course. What were our
experiences with each assignment? What did we learn in the process? What did
we like and dislike about these assignments? Will we use these skills gained in the
future? How so? Here, you can find our reflections and thoughts on the different
types of research we conducted this semester in “The Peopling of New York City.”
