My overall opinion of this course

This class is deceivingly interesting. It starts out as this rerun history class from high school about our fore fathers and the drama that lead to the civil war but then when you actually get into it, there is a lot about the progression of the conflicts that i didnt know so i learned a lot about how people could have seen Lincoln as a hypocrit more so than the freedom fighter he's known to be. Another thing thatI learned was that there are many points of views to war. Woman of elkton definately opens eyes. Its a point of view that not many know about. Before we talked about this, I thought the start of womens rights was a progression of shorter skirts, shorter hair, and tighter clothes. One thing I am thankful for was the how we covered different views of Iraq. Before, when this war started, everyone was saying "oh, its cuz of oil". I wasnt really a fan of listening to people but going over some of the material I kind of believe we were over there for the oil. But I also didnt know about Abu Graib and how there are a lot of ways this war is affecting us. I would still be oblivious if i wasnt forced to read a lot of this. overall good class. If you arent a writer, this doesnt count towards a writing intensive course so choose something else.
