1st Semester U.S. Society Review

What do you want to see more of in U.S. Society class this semester?

I think that I would like to see more projects that are really open-ended and "easy" to do. I like that we are able to pick topics that we enjoy and that we aren't forced to do a project on something that we really aren't interested in. I also like that the class is laid-back, so everybody has fun while they are working on their education.

What do you want to see less of?

I am actually having a hard time thinking of something to say to answer this question, but if I had to say something it would be that I would like to see more individual projects. I know a lot of people like working in groups on things, and don't get me wrong I like working with people too, but sometimes if you are working with certain people you can be doing all of the work and their lack of work can cost you a really good grade that you earned on a project that you would have earned had you been working alone. Working in groups also can bring the hard worker's grades down and the sleep-in-class-while-everybody-else-is-working type's grades farther up then they should be. In that case, isn't it better to just get an individual grade?

How can we make this class better?

I think that to make this class better, there should be more individual work projects instead of as many group-type projects. Also, I think that the majority of our projects should give us at least a little bit of freedom as far as a topic for the actual project goes.

I had a lot of fun in this class the first semester and I hope that we can all have fun in the second as the school year comes to a close!!
