The Spring 2009 semester is over and the grades are in. Here’s a quick wrap up of the semester.

I was lucky enough to sit in on the Korean language level 2 class this semester. I received no grade for that class, but I did learn something new. The instructor this semester is a good teacher. I’ll miss her class.

The Principles of Learning class was very slow, especially in the beginning, with the instructor cover a single topic in a single class quite heavily. This wasn’t needed in the beginning of the semester and, I’ll quickly admit, wouldn’t have been needed later in the semester had I not begun suffering from considerable (general) burn out. The result is that I stopped paying much attention in class nor taking things anywhere nearly as serious as I should have. The final exam definitely suffered. I would have been happy to see a C… disappointed, but happy, but I think that my attendance is what brought it up.

Issues In Today’s Economy had a good instructor, in my opinion, even though the material of the class was very boring for me. Some subjects simply do not click with a person, and economics is one such subject to me. There are bits of interesting information in there. Anyway, I was crossing my fingers and just hoping that I would get a C in this class. The last minute hard work seems to have paid off.

Social Psychology was… not my favorite class. It’s a fascinating subject, but I do better when a classroom is more a traditional classroom. Social Psych had far too much random conversations going as a part of the class that only vaguely related to what was being talked about. In my opinion, anyway. Maybe I’m completely wrong. Perhaps it’s just that I was at odds with the class’ format.

Creative Writing was a class with a high amount of over head. Writing stories and poems, rewriting them, reading others’ work and giving feedback.. it wasn’t difficult, just busy. There were certain things one needed to do to earn an A so I wasn’t necessarily expecting an A in that class.

Anyhow, there’s that college semester. Later folks!
