I took Education 245 my spring semester of my freshman year. This class was almost exactly like a child development class I took in high school for future teachers. This made the material easier to learn because I already knew a lot of the information. Throughout the semester we continuously worked on writing a research paper about child development which had to be 10 pages in the end. This was a little difficult for me because I have never written a real research paper, nor have I ever written a 10 page paper. I find it very difficult to talk about one topic for a very long time without being repetitive, so this was a quite difficult task for me. However, I really did enjoy my topic and I am very happy with the end result of this paper.
