This class has helped create a lot of internal dialogue for me, but I would have enjoyed some more engaging activities instead of just talking. I understand that it's an interdisciplinary course, but I think it was much too easy to not pay attention. I think the whole system needs to be redesigned to require more physical action. In my opinion, the 40 or 80 hour service learning requirement should be the class itself. However, I can imagine some logistical problems with that idea. I think at the very least there should be more hands-on experience. Also, one of my other professors has been pretty open about his opinion on global warming, and it directly conflicts with what I've been told in Colloquium. Now, I'm smart enough to know that he's full of crap, but the younger students are usually quite impressionable. It seems to me that if Colloquium is an interdisciplinary graduation requirement, then all the professors should be on the same page and not undermine each other's credibility.
