A Cool New course with a Hip New Teacher
My World203 class has a cool professor named Kathryn Murphy-Judy, aka MJ. She's an awsome lady who, for growing up in the hippie generation, is quite engaged in the 21st century. MJ came off as a caring, optimistic, and understanding person. Based off this fact, I could immediately tell that this course was going to be exciting and not another boring lecture course. She explained that World 203 was a course in which we would be looking at global media, and social networking, and how it is affecting us today. I was anxious to start learning more about facebook, and blogging, and to finally learn about twittering and google docs. All of these things have such a tremendous impact on everyone in society including businesses/corporations. So far, after a few weeks of learning and becoming familiar with these new technologies, I feel much more adapted to my own time. This sounds funny to say, but you would be surprised how sometimes you don't realize that technology can surpass you. Because I am more knowlegable now with some of these technologies, I feel better prepared for the work world in the future. I wouldnt say I've been having trouble with the thinking and learning in this course, although sometimes communication can be difficult. Difficulties in group communication are to be expected though and I wouldnt say that it has been detrimental to the class.
