Looking back over the past 10 weeks, being a part of this class has been a phenomenal experience! The first couple of weeks I was terrified because I did not know what to expect even though I had read the syllabus over and over. I honestly thought that the course would see religion from one point of view. This was not the case. The course taught me that religion has so many different aspects and so many different qualities are displayed within each religion. It also taught me how "easy" we have it in America verses how some countries struggle with daily life because of the obstacles that they face. This was a valuable lesson to me.
I wish that I could have taken more time to learn each culture more in depth but time did not allow. The only surprise that I had was the ease at learning geography. It was a subject that I have strayed away from because I thought it was boring. The way our professor structured the class, it made learning fun and it kept my attention. Each week, I looked forward to completing assignments before they were due because I had a yearning to learn more and more. This was very unusual for me because normally I am so bored with class that I want to just scream!
This class also allowed me to learn how to blog. This was something I shied away from because I did not now how to even create a blog. Now that I know, I may just blog just for the fun of it!
I am so glad that I chose to take this class this summer. I have already recommended it to several friends.
