Free-Write: Freshman Seminar Reflection

Freshman Seminar has been intresting to say the least. I've learned a lot about African American's and how they view themselves. Many things I did not agree with, but it was ultimately informative. During this class many intresting things has happened. For example, I just viewed by midterm grade. It was suprisingly a "U". I instantly emailed my TA because I have never missed a class, and I only missed one blog and that was because that was the week I went out of town. I can't say that freshman seminar has been a great experience, but I can at least say it was an experience. I was taught a lot about the African culture and our contribution to the world. During class I also was able to hear real life scholars that has transformed their academic knowledge ino wisdom in their particular field of study. Each speaker had their own way of teaching and they were all effective. I also think the Mbongi helped me focus and helped me keep my notes organized. Reflecting back on freshman seminar I also realized that I've learned how to think critically. I did'nt believe everything I heard in the lectures and didn't take everything that was said as the truth. I constructed my own opinion and expressed how I felt about particular lectures by talking with other students or blogs. Alltogther I learned so I think the class was a success.
