My Experience taking History 2 In high school, history had not been my favorite nor best subject. I did not expect to be able to absorb the facts and dates easily. Thankfully, my professor does not believe in fact and date learning for non-history majors. Instead, she taught us the big picture ideas and concepts. Most importantly though, she taught us how events lead to other events. She painted a picture with United States history. I looked forward to her lectures. She was entertaining and I knew I would learn something.  As well, she taught me how to write an essay in Chicago style citation. That essay was no picnic to write either. I have discovered that I am no historian. However, I was happy to grow  from her  class and am excited to have completed her second semester.  

The class I took was Texas Government or GOVT 2306. I found it to be engaging and I learned a lot about Texas specifically. I really enjoyed this textbook and took lots of notes. However, my poor professor was met with many unforeseen hardships. Falling down the stairs, getting the flu, losing her mother, etc. For this reason, we had fewer assignments than she would have liked, but I think we all learned what she was trying to teach us.

This particular class was online. I think that was what gave me some motivation. I had to check it more often to see if it would change suddenly. While the classload was relatively light. The reading was beyond informative. I got to learn a lot about diet and exercise in a very manageable way. As far as online Physical Education goes, I fully enjoyed this class and got the best out of it. And yes, I did do all my workouts. ;)
