I am so excited to be taking Poli 477. This class is a first for me. I have never had the opportunity to work with an organization dedicated so passionately to green values. I think by taking this class I will learn new information and gain a greater sense of responsibility when it comes to taking care of our planet. I am super excited to be working with Sustainable Carolina. This is something I don't think I would have become involved with if it were not for our class. The structure of the class really excites me and I love that we are going to actually build a community within the classroom. Who doesn't love a class that gets to take a trip to the zoo as an assignment? In most classes, I am used to just showing up, taking notes, and going home. I never really build in class relationships so I think this will be a unique opportunity to get to know my classmates. The guest speakers also seem like a great way to become more informed on the policies of being green so I look forward to that. Overall, this class offers me an opportunity to learn something new, and I hope to do so.
