The end to the semester!

“It can be understood as a belief system comprised generally of mythology/metaphysics, and ethics,” this is the definition that I feel best describes religion. I have learned MANY, many things from this class from pilgrimages and all religions to what are different words that cultures use in their different religions. I would absolutely recommend this class to everyone. This class has given me an interest in maybe clustering in religion classes for when I graduated. I liked being in this class and trying to relate it to experience I have had. Like I can see how I grew after my “pilgrimage” to Europe. Although I went to shop more than to find myself, but God works in mysterious ways! I also feel like I crossed my liminality in college by entering into activities that aren’t very familiar to me. This class has also helped me get back in touch with the God that I worship. I questioned my family but I loved hearing about the different cultures and how some people view their religion as being the nature and how everything is one including themselves like metaphysics. Having neat beliefs like this made me think and I recollected myself back to my church. I loved all the projects we did in this class, and I LOVED having the study guides to go with the tests, this is the only class I had that did this so thank you Jessica! I did feel like I learned a lot, and I was so satisfied when I could go through the study guide and felt confident in the answers I had for the questions. I feel that we were taught well enough to be prepared for the final this week!

Final Project and Elvis Project!

Now that we are at the end of the semester I enjoyed doing our projects both over Elvis and our final projects that we did individually. I had a lot of fun making my photography slide show and thought it was a great practice to study for the final by refreshing my mind with common vocabulary words. I was happy with my final product and enjoyed making it and presenting it to the class. I loved looking up all the vocabulary words in preparation for my project and fitting pictures to go along with the vocabulary words. However, I thought the Elvis project was much harder. Everyone did an excellent job on their projects. Before class I felt like I had a strong power point and was happy with the work I had done. Then I saw everyone else’s project and it bummed me out! Everyone worked together so well as a team, and it made me disappointed in my group. I think it all went wrong when only 4 out of 6 of us met for our group meeting. I was frustrated because we had the meeting so late for some of the people in our group who didn’t come. I felt like Jess, Kathryn and I did a lot of the work. Jess and I made the power point and Kathryn made the crossword. I was disappointed that I didn’t get every else’s slides sent to me, but there was nothing I could do about that. I wish my team worked together better, but with what we had to work with I was happy with how our presentation went. I understand complications with the weather, but I think our group did a good job and all in all I had fun working on it and watching others present!
