This class wasn't what I expected at all, but...I'm not going to sit here and put down AFAM and tell you all the things I didn't like about it. There were some thing I agreed with and others that I disagreed with. I beleive we got things done but in a very different way then usual. I realize that ever class is different and everyone has different teaching styles, but I just dont believe that I have learned anything new that I can benefit from.
In the beginning of the semester we started out by having assignment to read and then we would have class discussion that nobody even knew what was going on. I, myself, am more of a visual learner and we only have one real slideshow where we could take notes and it went super fast, so nothing was accomplished. It's very hard to want to appreciate a class if you never really know what is going on. I wanted to be in this class to broaden my horizon on the African American experience and instead I just found myself googling information right before our quizzes. I did enjoy our guest speakers and our extra credit opportunity :) I thought that it was different in a good way and that's something that made me want to participate in class.
All in All, I'm glad it's over. I'm ready to begin a new semester and I'm ready to become interesting in something new. I'm not at all dissappointed that I took this class, because it was a new experience and I"m always up for new thing.
