All of the information that was transmitted to me was either irrelevant to my course of study or far too boring to care about. Here, though, it was a different case. While most of the readings we did were not very interesting, they still taught me things which I needed to learn. Before entering this course, I could have cared less about our natural environment, but now I have a broader undestanding of what it is composed of and what it means to us as well as the other creatures that we share this planet with. Also, I have liked and appreciated the amount of freedom we were given as students.
Most course require constant attendance and frequent participation in class discussions.
In this class, our assignment was handed to us towards the beginning and we were let loose to do as we felt appropriate. There were no constraints and no classroom responsibilities. We were all made aware that we had a large task at hand that needed to be completed, and we were allowed to act as adults while doing so. As the real world is much the same, I feel as though this IGE 223 course was very practical. Overall, I can confidently say that this class has been a positive learning experience.
