High points in the Colloquium class would definitly have to be the field trips. I loved them all and got something invaluble from all of them. I really enjoyed being in the nature and learning about the environments in Florida. There seemed to be a feeling of hope in all of our field trips like the Corkscrew sanctuary and ECHO. I thought ECHO was one of the most beneficial times in my FGCU career just because it has inspired me to incorporate that into my future in some form or another. I also enjoyed the discussions in class I thought all of the students really enjoyed them and were really involved in all of them. Even though this was a mandatory class it seemed as though the students were totally involved and present at every class.
Some downsides to this class were... the amount of work is just a bit. Well it is a lot, maybe just because it was a 6 week course, but I thought that everything put together was a bit much. Maybe not have the group project, or have half the journals. Or possibly limit the papers to 750 words instead of 1500. It was the only thing that discouraged me about this class, or the thing that I really didn't want to be comitted to.
The last thing that I didn't really enjoy about this class or that was difficult was the negative outlook it had. I mean, if the world is really in this bad of shape then okay, but is there any good news? I could have used more about what we are doing to help these situations that our world is facing. Again it is probably because of the 6 week class and there isn't a lot of time to share multiple view points or talk about all information encompassing all of the topics. Honestly though I left the classroom most times feeling a bit depressed. I still got a lot out of everything, and just by feeling that it is easy to see that I was involved and cared about what we talked about in class. Overall it was a very interesting class that I feel I learned more in than any other class at FGCU. It will probably be the most beneficial class that I take while I am enrolled in FGCU.
