In this class we went through engineering cultures in different countries. In the future, we may apply this knowledge when we work in foreign countries and collaborate with people from different cultures. Also, the community gives an opportunity to make friends faster. I have three same classes with students who are also involved in the community. In other word, I meet them eight hours a week. Another thing I liked in this class was GELC activity arranged by instructors. I almost attended every event that we had so far. At the beginning, I was doing it just for earning extra credits. Then I started to like it. We had interesting times playing bowling and billiard, having free pizzas.
I am not planning to study after finishing Purdue. But I would like to take some foreign languages. I prefer to take German. One of the main reasons of that, German engineering has a great reputation.
I really admire that you attended all of the extra credit events!!!! Good for you!!! I never seemed to have the time to go :( I bet that you had a great time and really got a lot out of it. If I have one regret regarding this class, it's not going to all the extra things we had planned. I never expected to be this busy! Ahhhhh!!!! Also, you'd be great at engineering in Germany!!! I hope that you get to do that one day!!!! Good luck with studying German, that language is hard! haha I only know how to say like 5 words in German, including hosenfeffer, which means rabbit. lol!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Yerke, I think that meeting new and interesting people and interacting with them together in three classes was one of the high points of the learning community. I also agree that the extra credit activities were a lot of fun. I certainly enjoyed the billiards event, although unfortunately I was not able to attend the bowling event. However, I did attend one of the study tables and it really helped me get a lot of homework done. And I agree ... the free pizza and snacks was a big plus. :D
