2021 – 2022 Classes
COMM 333
This class satisfied my Historical & Contemporary or Behavioral & Social perspective. Lies, Scams, and Conspiracy Theories had hooked me in with the title alone however the execution of the class was excellent. The class had a primarily discussion-based approach which made the class feel very organic although always on track with points looping back …
EASC 333
Environmental Science 333, Natural Hazards & Disasters, satisfied my Quantitative/Scientific perspective slot, although I don’t know why any of my various science classes throughout my major or minor didn’t count, like Behavioral Neuroscience (PSYC 321). This, despite my gripes about the system, was a fun and interesting class including various weather patterns which is something …
ENGL 379
English 379, Representing Non-Humans, satisfied my Global Citizenship perspective. I took this class finding it interesting because I believed it would focus on how fantasy creatures and races are presented in the literature. I was incorrect as we did not focus on any fantasy novels in that sense but did still go in an interesting …
SPAN 111
Spanish 111 was my first Spanish class in about 4 years (junior year of high school) making it a bit hard to relearn everything I had forgotten. Over my time in the course, I was able to remember the things I had learned before with help coming majorly from the small talking assignments in class. …
CTZN 410
Citizen 410, Lancer Launch Pad, satisfied my symposium requirement. Symposium was supposed to be the opposite end of our first class taken at Longwood, Citizen 110, to show (in the class specifically) how our ideas have grown. These ideas did not have to be the same as in Citizen 110 and were more focused on …
HONS 490
Honors 490 was classified as a directed study course to satisfy the study abroad requirement for honors. This class was made available because of COVID-19 not allowing people to study abroad instead of simply omitting the requirement for the affected years if the effort was put into trying to study abroad. This class did not …
PSYC 498
Psychology 498 and 499 were the two parts of my honors senior thesis. The semester prior to 498 I had to find an advisor, create a thesis committee, and create an idea to pitch to Longwood for my thesis. I successfully pitched my thesis proposal on aphantasia’s link to visual memory retention and began work …
SPAN 211
Spanish 211 was the second Spanish class I was required to take at Longwood. This class satisfied the foreign language perspective. I had attempted to take Japanese, in Japan as it is not offered at Longwood, during a semester abroad trip I was planning however was told that because of the rules around perspectives it …
