Learning Journal #2

This week we started talking about the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. I'm very excited about this topic, it is something that I feel very strongly about and I can not wait for a few more in people in this world to learn about the injustice that took place during this horrific event. I was, however, slightly disappointed that it was turned into something that focuses more on research techniques. While those are important I do think that this topic is something that should be looked at as itself, and not a way to teach people how to gather information. It is very good though, that information is being gathered. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we're learning different research methods, I know this will be useful for the rest of the time that we all spend in University.

Week 1

Over the past couple of weeks I was a bit unsure about the Truth in Society class. I have been very worried about putting my writing out there and allowing people to form their first impression of me from my writing, but I came to realize that I probably wasn’t the only one feeling this way and it was somewhat silly to worry so much. I really appreciate all the writing we’re doing and I’m hoping this helps me to improve on my own writing. I’m really looking forward to occasions and to diving deeper into issues that involve truth and believing.
