Course Evaluation
Overall I thought the course for American studies freshman class was very interesting. I really liked how it was actually about American history. I really liked how we did projects that connected to history, and to English. I also liked how the whole class was not just history or English, I liked how they were tied together. I enjoyed the projects that we did I liked how they were projects that were different, and allowed you to explore and use different resources. I also found that the class was very hard to follow, like if you missed one day you missed a lot, also it was a lot of different things and topics that we would talk about and learn in just one day. I also did enjoy that we had to do poetry recitations, but I would have preferred if we did them only twice a year instead of four times. I also wish that we would have done more projects that were in groups, or even in partners, but we would need more in class time to work on them. I feel like I learned a lot in this class, but that I could have learned a lot more, if we would have focused more on one topic at a time instead of skipping around, and doing several at one time. I am also very glad that we have learned how to write several different types or poems, and learned how to write sonnets. I believe that the class syllabus was very productive, with having to transition to high school from middle school.
