For Foundations of Western Civilization, professor Isaac taught me life long lessons regarding history engagement and intelligence gaining. This course enhanced my ability to cite correctly and research effectively. After researching for countless hours in the library, Isaac reviewed and constructively critiqued my work by teaching me the meaning behind why we ask questions about history. In order to resist making mistakes in the future, it is essential that we research and understand the past.
Because Isaac is a professor who merely lectures, I took detailed notes on my laptop that I referred to. The first document (first week of school) is the first notes taken in this course. The second document (last week of first semester) is notes taken the last week of class. This artifact exemplifies the growth of my comprehension of the course.
