Final Quiz 5

I can't believe that the term has come to an end.  But looking back I am proud of myself for taking this course, especially in the summer. This course has been nice because it has outlined everything in the syllabus that we read.  Although the reading was not my favorite thing to do, I did enjoy the group work together. That really helped me get more of an understanding what was going on. But this class has taught me a lot more of History than I had ever known about History. Especially learning about the beginning of history. History has always bored me, but learning about interesting things from this book has actually helped me understand why some things are the way the still are. 

I've learned more about religion which is great because it gives me a background on my next class in the fall, "religions of the world". Blogging is a great way to go about remembering what you read as well. Having a hard time reading and remembering, blogging will totally help you with some of that.  It's a great tool that I never used before, but am glad that we learned in this class. Having the opportunity to do a research paper on something I enjoyed learning about was great. It gave me a chance to learn more about my dad and more about my heritage and why he worked so hard as we were growing up. 

The paper on Putin was a little too confusing for me. It went back and forth a little too much for me and really got me lost. Have the quiz's almost every week almost gave me a heart attack, because it added stress on top of the reading, but it was definitely better than having one big test at the end of the course. The day the class was divided between women and men was very interesting. But I really enjoyed that. Some of the men were not being really fair, but it showed how women were treated back in the day, and how women are treated still today. Although the women were hushed and quiet they still rose on top. That was a great experience. The group activities that Ms. Andrews had were a great way to keep a 4 hour class together and awake until 10pm.
