Such a great post! I like how you stated that you didn’t think a 101 course could teach you so much in such a short time. I completely agree with you. Who knew a 100 level course could actually teach you something and make you work instead of it just being a review? I’ve enjoyed having you in my group this semester! I hope you enjoy what’s left…[Read more]

Such a well written post! Like you, I had a hard time with participation as well. I’ve never gotten negative feedback about class participation until this class and that upset me and frustrated me. I would read people’s blog but I didn’t necessarily comment on them so it didn’t help me with participation. I’ve enjoyed working with you and reading…[Read more]

What a great closing post! I was in the same boat as you when first looking over the syllabus. I was overwhelmed and nervous about meeting all of the deadlines. Unfortunately, like you, I was unable to meet all the deadlines but I did end up getting them completed. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this course and making me realize and analyze social…[Read more]

As a female, I completely agree. The world is terrifying but I refuse to walk around in fear because that’s no way to live. I’m very cautious and nosey about what’s going on around me but I don’t want to walk around scared. I don’t understand how people could treat other humans the way that they do sometimes. Like you said, how can people sell and…[Read more]

Thanks for the encouraging and kind words. I wasn’t real confident about my autobiography so I really appreciate your kind words.

Yes it’s doable but like you said, it seems like it’s NEVER ending. It can be a vicious cycle that’s hard to break.

You’re right… Old habits are hard to break! I like how you pointed out the sterotypes of young boys being smart but young girls being obedient and skinny. How about we all do our absolute best. Let’s all work hard at work, around the house, and to be healthy.

Thank you for the compliments Srikar! I just wish that we would all be more understanding and accepting of everyone. Equality and non-judgement is something that I wish for our great nation! What would you change or not change in regards to gender and sexuality, Srikar?

As a criminal justice major, I couldn’t agree with you more. I wish we could put them all away as well but I don’t see that happening! 🙁 I’ve known a few victims of domestic abuse and it’s quite challenging to deal with. Leaving and staying are both extremely hard things to do.

Great point about immigrants coming over believing it’s the right thing to do and that it should be done. I’m not exactly sure what should be done about it though. I haven’t really thought about it before but I guess we may have to let them do what they believe with their families. On the other hand, our judicial system could see it as child…[Read more]
