Overall I did enjoy freshman seminar. However there were times where I felt I was being asked to do too much for a 1 credit class. Despite that I do appreciate the knowledge and experience I gained from this project. I met new people and learned new things about the University. Also, I got an opportunity to hear Dr. Carr speak.
My favorite part of the class was definitely the trip to NYC. I am from New York and loved being home again. Unfortunately, even though that is my home, I did not know anything about the African burial ground. Ironically, I am the one who in turn told my friends about it. Afterwards walking around Harlem, I was bored. As a result we ended up talking to a man on the street who sold jewellry. We began talking about Africa and culture and he began to tell me about Ma’at. Amazingly from Dr. Seguns lecture I was able to relate and talk to him. If not for that class, not only would I have not been in Harlem but I also would not have not about Ma’at! Now that freshman seminar has come to a close I can say I did appreciate it for all the stress it gave me. When I complained to my older sister about all the worker they make us do I this class, she actually told me “that’s what college is all bout. Doing work that you may never get written credit for, but you walk away from with invaluable experience. It’s better that you learnt that lesson freshman year..” So thankyou freshman seminar for a wonderful semester!
