Look how cute we are! :D
Not going to lie, at first when I found out I would be taking a class for an entire year I was like yeah this is going to be horrible there is no way I can handle a class that lasts alllll year! But honestly, this was one of my favorite classes, and I am happy I got to spend the year with all of you in it, I know many of us will continue our friendships outside of class, and some of you are my closest friends I have at GVSU, so that's pretty awesome!
So, as far as my opinion on the class and what I have learned, I would say the class was extremely challenging, and that I learned more about Latin America than I did in all my other years in high school or middle school for that matter. Second semester was more challenging for me, because of all the wars and revolutions we learned about. It was all really interesting, but I had a hard time keeping all of the different names, locations, and dates straight! I do feel, however, that Professor Stark and Professor Serrata were more coordinated this semester with their lesson plans, and I found this more helpful, plus it is nice to be able to easily link both parts of the class together.
My favorite part of the class was when we learned about Mexican muralists, and when we went to Chicago. I want to thank Professor Serrata and Professor Stark for being so awesome and allowing us to be creative! I don't know if I will ever take another class that gives us the opportunity to take dance lessons, go to Chicago, sing along while the professor plays guitar, and make a video all in one semester! I think we have been given a lot of great opportunities to learn about Latin American civilization and culture in less traditional ways, and that type of learning really appeals to me.
I'm going to miss seeing you all every other day! I can tell we're all going to do something great with our lives :) Have an amazing summer everyone! I'll be chillin', and I hope you will too! :D
