What’s on your mind? (Students/school edition).

I only have three more weeks until I go home! This term has absolutely flown by and I can’t believe it’s already eighth week. My winter break is Thanksgiving to New Year’s.

One midterm for Comparative Politics last week. It was pretty challenging but I think I did decently well on it. Using one author’s classification system to describe another author’s case studies within my own argument. It’s a very good skill to practice, though. We’ll see when he hands them back how I did. He’s known for being quite a difficult professor. I doubt I aced it but I don’t think I failed it, either.

The final project for that class is going to be similarly difficult. We will be tasked with finding holes/what’s missing within the course readings we’ve engaged with. Though I expect to draw some interesting connections and maybe even be able to fill in some of those gaps by putting several articles in conversation with each other.

Lots of reading and discussion right?

I have my next computer science midterm exam this upcoming week. All our midterms in the online class are also easy weeks as it gives opportunity to catch up on missing assignments should we finish the midterm early.

Not a ton of reading, at least compared to musicology or history courses, but a decent amount. And yes, lots of discussion. Pretty much an open floor the whole class.

I always forget there are institutions that offer online classes. That simply isn’t something that exists here. The school is far too small for that to make any sense, and online classes are not allowed per the accreditation policy.
