Goal 10-Intermediate I Spanish (SPAN 201)
Spanish 201 was a pleasant surprise for the semester. I had completed Spanish 105 prior to this course and it was full of vocab and grammar memorization.

Goal 8-American Government and Politics (POSC 150)

Goal 9-Introduction to Anthropology (ANTH 101)
I took this course to satisfy my general education goal 9, focusing on diversity. I chose to reflect on a paper our professor assigned out of no where in place of an in class exam.
