Colloquium is a great class for students to explore the habitat that the school is founded on. I really enjoyed the field trips including the canoe trip and campus trails.
BUT...
I must say that this class stressed me out beyond a level that any class probably should. I didn't understand why this class was a Gordon rule class that required so much writing. Though I did enjoy some of the readings, I feel as if I walked away confused from the book and its message.
I really enjoyed working in groups and met cool people.
BUT...
The wiki project is definitely something that I would cut out. I didn't even know what a wiki was, and then I had to make one? Still today I am confused on what a wiki is.
I completely understand the value of service learning hours.
BUT...
Its hard to determine what is nature friendly service learning hours are. Esp. if your major has nothing to do with the environment.
OVERALL. . .I did enjoy the field trips the most. Learning something is always easier if you can see rather than read it.
Colloquium is a great class, but would be a better class if there was an equal curriculum for every colloquium teacher and class.
