Quite honestly I cannot remember much from one specific person or a specific instance. I want to concentrate on the class as a whole. The class isn't something that I normally come in contact with. There was only one instance where there were so many people with so many different decisions and we didn't rip each others heads off. I want to stress everyone in class not just one person and commend you all for a great semester of class. We actually cared about each other, when someone had oppinions to share everyone listened and respected the speakers view. I remember having multiple conversations with Jim where he would shed more light on the readings for me, so many people were willing to help each other out on class material. When people needed help they had a plethra of people that were willing to help out. What I will take out of this is a bunch of friends that are dedicated to the sake of learning as well as being good friends. I will also take away from the different learning styles that everyone has presented in class. I will think outside of the box and think of new ways to tackle my homework. I also would like to continue the blog if people are interested, just as a forum for keeping in touch and sharing what we are learning in class to continue stretching our minds.
P.S. I had talked about in the context presentation of L'Engle that she was an armenian. Correction, She in the christian community would be considered heretical. See both calvinists and armenianists both believe that there is one way to get to Heaven and that would be to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and christianity is the only way to Heaven. L'Engle would argue that that doesn't need to happen that no matter what you believe in all religions lead to God and Heaven.
Good luck to everyone during finals and I hope we can all stay in touch and utilize this blog.

i think it would be sad to see there's an end to this class and this blog posting, keeping up the blog and having people share what they read in the future is a very great idea of making this class not to have an end. although im not very close to everyone in this class, however this is by far the class that i feel most friendly with. in other classes, usually students come and go, conversation about outside of class are rarely heard.
ReplyDeletein this class, i also learned that how to lisrten carefully from the others and appreciate what opinions others have.
sometimes its great to hear people saying "i dont agree with you" because i feel like its a sign of "people take your words seriously and they do care about what you are saying".
