The new information that I learned from this class is how to understand politics which I never did before this class. I learned to fully hear both sides of a story rather than just going from what I believe and think. Im a more open person now.I don't believe everything I hear or see in the news or tv. I make up my own opinions about certain articles I see rather than believe what they want me to believe. I have learned about the troubles we are facing with finding a better source of energy that is also cost effective, as well as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ive become more aware of whats going on in the world around me.


The new skills that ive learned from this class is to how to blog now..lol. Ive learned to have conversations about the world around me rather than shrugging it off and acting like its not my problem. Ive become more informed thanks to this class.

Because of this class ive found that I am a smart person when I actually try hard enough. Ive found that I am an independent which I wasn't sure of till this class. I understand politics a whole lot more now. I find myself have serious long conversations about politics now, which is weird because I never cared to know about, let alone speak about politics. I cant say too much about my performance as a student other than, I wish I had more time to really get into the work I did and to not miss any assignments.




I have to say, I wouldn't change anything about this class, everything was presented to us in a clear understandable way. I understood all of the assignments and questions, we also had plenty off time to get our assignments done. We also had a great instructor.

The knowledge or skill I will take from this class is to always listen to another persons point of view and not to be closed minded. I also will make my own opinions about the things I hear or see and not believe everything I see or hear on tv in articles. I will aslo take with me my awesome ability to research like crazy (never knew i could do that..lol).



My favorite topic to write about was the Boston marathon bombing, simply because it was close to home.Im only 30 mins from boston. Those poor people did not deserve what happened to them. The war on terror is deffinatley not over.



Thank you so much for giving us your time. I really enjoyed this class and only wish that I had done better with getting the assignments done. This class has taught me a lot and I will continue to use it in the future.
