As the semester comes to an end I must say that I am walking away from this class with a new outlook on the environment. While I have taken some environmental classes in the past, I feel that I gained the most knowledge from this class. I enjoyed the group work on the chapters in the State of the World which allowed us a brief overview of the chapters without having to spend a great deal of time on them. I also enjoyed the group discussions where we put our desks in a circle. It made the classroom seem more like a community and less like a boring classroom. I also enjoyed each of the field trips and thought that each one had a great deal to offer. However, I did feel that some of the readings we were assigned in the Colloquium Reader were written in a way that was very difficult to understand. I feel that more discussion should have taken place before those readings in order to gain a better understanding of their content. Overall I think that this class was very enlightening and I feel I will be coming away from this experience with a greater respect for the environment.
Thanks for a great semester!
