Let’s dive right in and talk about
my Colloquium experience. To be completely honest, I was annoyed at having to
take this class. I realized when coming to Florida Gulf Coast University that
this would be one of the requirements, but it still was not high on my list of
things that I was looking towards with happiness.
That being said, I really did enjoy
the class. Personally, I got to see quite a few places that I hadn’t been to in
years—Matanzas Pass, Koreshan, etc. Academically, the class put forth
information either I didn’t know about, or merely didn’t think about.
When it comes to my major,
psychology, it affords me a different perspective, specifically that of an environmentalist
bent, that I can use when building rapport, or talking to people. There were
quite a few highpoints with regards to the class itself; I enjoyed the people
in the class specifically, fun and entertaining group of individuals if you ask
me and the trips that were taken were a nice change of pace from the typical
classroom setting.
The field trips were also the most
difficult part for me—I am from this area originally so much of the information
given was merely a repeat from my past; additionally, I am not the biggest fan
of being outside due in large part to the heat. This still doesn’t hamper my
overall like of the class and the professor specifically.
All-in-all, I do not feel that the
class was a waste of time, which sadly was how I originally felt. I take away a
larger understanding of the current world situation, and what FGCU is putting
forth by requiring the colloquium class. Looking forward, it is definitely
something that will cause me to put forth effort into helping sustain the
world. Would I recommend the class and professor? Yes.
