I really had fun with learning community this semester. At the beginning, I wasn't so sure but as we got into World War II and such, things started to pick up. Mostly because they're the topics I enjoy the most about history. Also, I have realized that my writing skills have improved greatly. I do not remember a single moment where I was actually ( Read more... )

I'm really hoping that the final part of our exam will be a slam dunk. Throughout both semesters, I have done pretty well on most of them. I mostly have to thank Prof. Gunderson's reviews for that. For each exam, I have made sure to write down the definitions and/or notes about each term listed. It always takes several hours, but it's worth the ( Read more... )

So I took the plunge and decided to join Sigma Kappa Delta. I'm actually really excited, because I've never been apart of something like it before. Also, my work schedule is more flexible so I know that I would be able to attend the required meetings and such. I'm looking foward to eating good food and just having fun. haha Oh, and we also we t- ( Read more... )

Looking back on the semester, I kind of wish we could've read another book like The Devil in the White City. I really enjoyed it (even though it scared the crap out of me) and I figured that since we finished the book in such a small amount of time, there would be a chance to do it again. I'm almost upset we didn't get to discuss Howl. I didn't ( Read more... )

Going into the exam, I felt really prepared because I had chosen several topics I could write about the night before. I also made sure to research each one so I could give a lot of examples and detail in my paper. For some reason however, I thought the short answer was going to be tomorrow. ha! So, I was a little unprepared. I realized that I ( Read more... )

Cultivating Scholars, suprisingly, was not a bad experience. I already had to participate for my psychology class (mandatory of course) so I figured, why not? My group's poster had to be done ahead of time anyway, so why not show up to present it and earn some extra credit? I had fun looking at other people's posters, but was scared away from the ( Read more... )

I was happy to discuss different conspiracy theories is class. At first for some reason, I could only think of JFK's assassination. Then I realized after throwing a bunch of them around that there are so many of them. I didn't want to do a conspiracy theory that was too cliche or obvious; I wanted to keep it interesting for Professor Gunderson and ( Read more... )

I actuallly had a lot of fun playing Jeopardy, and I felt very accomplished to have obtained the five point bonus. At first, I was a little discouraged because some class member whom shall not be named do not know how to shut up haha. I didn't really feel like playing and just wanted to leave because I was so irritated. However, when the game ( Read more... )

I was kind of suprised when Prof Gunderson stopped our notes at the point that she did. I was kind of looking foward to learning more about Clinton's administration.and hearing what she had to say about it, since I was quite young when all of it was going on. However, I still went over the powerpoint notes and read the pages in the book about it ( Read more... )

I found the section of notes about Nixon's administration to be really interestings. Before, you only heard negative things about Nixon, like all the scandals and everything. But then, I found out about all the acts he pushed forth like the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Air Act, which I never would've imagined. I was also happy to learn ( Read more... )
