Learning Communities

I thought that the learning communities at southern were a good idea.  Making friends can be a very scary and difficult process for freshman at Southern.  So putting the same people in two classes is a good idea because it gives them more time to interact each other. This is very important because they these classes are not the easiest at southern and you will most likely need help in your classes.  Therefore it is a good idea put the same kids in the same classes so they can help each other try and pass the class.   We all may not have been the best of friends but the one thing we all agreed about and could bond about is that our anthropology teacher was not exactly the best.  Even though this may not be the best thing we could bond our, but this crazy teacher did bring us together.     The one thing I am going to miss about the learning community is the friends I made.  I do not know if I will have classes with some of these kids ever again so I could end up losing touch with some of them and I do not want this to happen.  Another thing I am going to miss is the lack of homework that we got in these two classes.  When we did get homework in anthropology it was always very little, such as readings from the book or write a paragraph about something.  In inquiry we did not get that much homework either.  Mostly all we had to do was blog three times a week. I also am going to miss making videos.  I will most likely not have to make a movie in any other class.  I find making videos a very fun and informational way of learning
