Poli Sci Reflection

At first I thought Political Science was going to be a very dull and boring class, and I was not excited about it at all. It ended up being one of the most interesting classes of my high school career. I liked the idea of constructive learning, and how we used the laptops, which made it more interesting. Instead of going by the book and from the book, which would have been boring and expectant, it was based off of conversation and everyone's thoughts and opinions. It was different, and therefore made a difference.

I think that this class did at least one of two things. If people did not really have skills such as thinking about issues or events, developing an opinion, and then feeling comfortable enough to share their opinion, or, having an open mind to whats going on in the world, and understanding pros and cons of certain actions, and then of course bringing thoughts to the table, then I think it helped them take the first step in developing those skills. The second thing it could have done was, if they did have the skills, it helped them realize that they had them, and put them to good use.
