Colloquium Difficulties
The high points in colloquium were the many connections with nearly all facets of society since it is the environment that sustains life and all that life demands. Making the connections between what was the best for the environment and society. Then examining the political and economical feasibility of the ideas presented. I thrive off of the debate fostered in class since true learning comes not from accepting the bias presented to you, but rather receiving multiple sources of bias and facts to draw your own conclusions. Debate brings up areas of weakness in arguments and many other influences into thinking. I also enjoyed the freedom of our final project and in choosing our service learning opportunity. I developed a leadership role in order to attain the service learning objective which proved useful to further my management skills and abilities and to become a leader promoting environmental sustainability. I was able to choose a project that has always interested me. Sustainable city planning was able to incorporate the knowledge and research gained throughout the course and the project and kept that material interesting to me. It was difficult to study in depth the articles especially when they were not interesting to me. I also struggled with the biased movies presenting political sides rather than addressing the environmental problems with solutions which we needed. Being able to apply knowledge and facts to back up my position will allow me to make stronger arguments for my personal and business practices in the future.
