One of my favorite things from this course was The Devil in a White City book. This was by far the biggest thing that captured my attention. I loved learning about not only architecture but also our history. Not to mention, I am a criminal justice major so the juicer the better, I love reading about crime. I think that I enjoyed this the most because its something that we actually got to take our time on and enjoy. I didn’t feel rushed or have 5-7 days to complete this, I was able to enjoy it. I actually did not want to quit reading this book and I am not a reader what so ever. I would have liked to do my own assignment on this rather than work with a group just because I wanted to express my own feelings on this subject and reflect on what I got out of it not what everyone else did. I felt as though I was more worried about my group agreeing with my thoughts and reasonings on this subject than how I really felt. I would have liked to put my own words in more and not have to have them checked by others. Overall I really liked everything that we did in this course I just think that this book was my favorite. It told a good story and it was very interesting on how the two different stories were tied together. Overall the only thing that I would suggest for this class is maybe to allow more individual work on big projects like the readings. I am not sure everyone even really read the book and I would hate for that the effect my grade when I could have read the book over and over again.
Reflection
I think that Boise State courses are preparing me for the work force in terms of time management and commitment. It was taught me how to juggle everyday life and school and still being able to take care of myself for my needs and for my wants as well. It has given me the opportunity to potentially shadow and ultrasound tech this summer because of the connections that I have made.
I think this course would have definitely been a lot easier done in person. I only say because of the confusion I had during this semester and the topics never really seeming interesting to me, sad to say. I think personally, I would have been more motivated to complete things to the best of my ability if I was face to face with my professor instead of reading and trying to figure out what is expected from me or what point is supposed to be crossed over from my end to the reader. I think if the videos we were expected to watch or the material that we were supposed to retain were to be taught in a classroom setting, rather than wherever we were at the time it became convenient for us to work on our homework, it was have been able to stay locked away in my brain for further use a lot better.
I’m not saying this course was bad, because that is the opposite that it was. It was actually kind of interesting to learn about he Natives, and learned about certain other things, just did not catch my interest. I think highly of you and I respect the fact that your really do love what you do and it can be seen with how you present articles. Some people, history just isn’t a strong suit, and that is definitely my case here this semester.
