Class Reflection

Having returned from Italy, I can most definitely say this class was worth my time. If it wasn't for the expense, I would like to take a class like this every quarter. The problem based learning definitely took some getting used to, as I haven't worked in class groups since high school and I absolutely despise giving presentations. However, the class trip certainly superseded any concerns I had about the class itself, being that it gave me the opportunity to travel to the eternal city. Rome itself was more than I could have expected, and as a history buff, I was amazed. Our tours of the Theater of Marcellus and Ostia Antica left something to be desired, but none of had actually been to these places before, so it was to be expected. The trip was long enough that we could actually enjoy the experience, yet short enough to not drain our bank accounts. Hopefully when a class of this type assembles again, I will be alert enough to sign up.
