Self Assessment

After being in freshman seminar I still feel the same way as I did going into it. I did not feel like it really served a purpose as a class. The lectures were given were about random topics and I don’t see how they are going to help us progress in the years to come. I guess I would say the research project was useful in helping us learn how to develop research questions properly, and execute the correct steps to successfully creating a presentation. I think one reason why I did not really like doing the research project was because everything was so unorganized. I like things to be clear so that I know what is supposed to happen and when. I also don’t see why we have to do blogs when we do the mbongi forms in class and it’s basically the same thing just in a different format so I feel it’s redundant. One thing I did learn from freshman seminar was that I need to be more present in all my classes mentally so that I can really absorb the information being given to me. I did learn a few things, but most of them won’t be used later on in my life I don’t believe. I also could have tried to take the class more seriously.
