Final Blog... Can't believe it

This Class has been one of the best classes I have taken so far at Folsom Lake.

The first Episteme, shows how through many different aspects we were able to learn about our government, which bodies govern, and how each one effects each other. It was a less direct, yet equally informative approach.

The group work was a huge part of the class, and it allowed us to work on our social skills, and also our group management. Whether it was making laws, to creating our national anthem, it required team work and for us to gel as a group.  I believe it allowed for the whole class to become closer together, rather than a typical class environment.

To further the group work allowed us to play the Nation state game, and strategize in terms of how to attack, and if we wanted to form alliances in order to create the best way to gain law points.

This continues on in the fourth section, which has to do with "street smarts" this relates to the actions we took, and to make sure that they would give us our own personal gain in order to create the best situation for ourselves as a group.

This class was truly something different then I had taken before, but it was one of the greatest. It was a more free environment in which we could throw around our ideas, and Professor Ellerman's ability to hear out our opinions, and his sense of humor made it truly enjoyable. It was a great class and I look forward to taking more of his classes in the future.
