Learning Blog 2

I will regretfully say that I have lost my memory in terms of remembering to write a learning journal each week, sorry.

Let me start by saying that Thom, Russ, and Michael, you were right. I have not done this much writing in my entire life, but there are no complaints here! I love this course and I have been learning so much at every class.

The Rwandan war criminal (old topic, I know) was a very interesting assignment to start the year off on. I can't remember the last time I have ever been so interested to just find an answer. The subject of Rwanda alone can be explored forever, let alone war crimes, criminals, justice, etc. I have learned many researching skills and techniques to finding what I want through libraries, books, and of course the world wide web.

Doubt was by far my favourite lesson learned. Experiencing a play for school was a dream come true for me, I wasn't only reviewing it as an assignment but I was enjoying every moment. I've learned more about religion through this play as well as english and journalism perspectives.

Now that we are officially divided into our classes it has cleared a lot of things up for me like how to look at things differently in one class from the next. Three classes back to back include a lot of information in one run of a day. I feel that each assignment is worth doing because it not only teaches others of your understanding but it allows you to understand better yourself.

I'm not sure if i'm making any sence at all but what I mean to say is that by writing personal opinionated reflections with many of the things we read, it gives everyone a greater understanding and an important discussion at the end of the day.
