Thought I'd take a moment and let you all know what's going on with school. Obviously there isn't alot of free time to blog more frequently. The first class I enrolled for in this winter quarter is a required class, History of Christianity in the Middle Ages in Western Europe. The quarters runs 10 weeks.
The class consisted of lectures and videos as well as 2 written projects from books on Thomas Aquinas and Julian of Norwich; 3 oral presentations on the Benedictine Monks, The Beguines (Heretics) and the book The Cloud of Unknowing; a total of 30 essay questions due weekly; class participation points; and a final paper on the Templar Knights.
It has been enviorating and challenging. Best news yet is that I received my final grade via email today, 'A'. I'm thrilled. My next class begins April 1, Interreligious Dialogue, and another 5 text books. From the looks of it the class will be based on Christianity, Isalm, Judiasm, Buddism and Hinduism - similarities, differences and how they coexist.

Awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow - you were thrown into the deep end right away. But it sounds like you are swimming just fine. 90% is great on your first oral presentation - keep up the good work.
