Semester Review

Overall the first semester has been a good growing experience. As a student I have made adjustments to my study habits and have learned that study groups help me best. In particular, freshman seminar was a good addition to my classes. It was nice to have a class that was culturally relevant and informative on the condition of blacks in modern America. I found the lecture on the New York City burial ground lecture to be the most interesting lecture. I find it disturbing that cemeteries with blacks are still being destroyed and built upon. In general the course served its purpose, however I found it to be a lot of work for one credit. I would have preferred that half of the blogs were due but I still would have kept the freshman seminar project. In the future I think that the directions and prompt for the freshman seminar project should be made more clear for students. In all, freshman seminar did an adequate job at giving students a chance to reflect on African American culture.
