When I first registered for this
class I thought it was going to be a class where we learn more about the German
language and how to speak it. I was worried because I don’t know how to speak
much German so I was worried, but I thought the class was very enjoyable. I
learned a lot in this class, I learned things in this class that I never
thought could be real. I never thought that German was the way it was, I thought
it would have been more of a relaxation country. I learned a lot of interesting things in this
class like how many famous people actually lived or were born in Germany. I loved learning about the history and
georgraphical part of Germany, Germany’s history is very interesting and full
information, Germany also consists of a lot of interesting places to tour. The other thing that really caught my eye was
the brands of motor vehicles that were built or generated in Germany.
It was interesting to me to learn
that German women in the earlier years really meant nothing to a man, it seemed
to me that besides having children they really had no purpose, as bad as it
sounds its pretty much true. The way
that Germany discovered medications and the way that they found diagnosis was
pretty amazing, they put a lot of people through pain just to find ways to stay
healthy. I learned a lot from Baader-Meinhof
Complex and what really amazed me was the way that Germany’s extremists and
protestor were formed, mistreated and beaten for doing what they believe in. It
was just very interesting to know that the uprisings in Germany were so big and
brutal back then, I just sometimes wonder if the United States Army would start
a war in Germany now days to stop another uprising like the one during
Baader-Meinhof. We haven’t talked much
about German food or drink or there housing style and environment, but it would
definitely be something for the instructor to touch base on a little bit more when
the class does the German city assignment.
All in all I had a great time in
the class and I enjoyed it a lot, I would recommend this class to another
student interested in finding out more culture or to a student interested in
studying abroad in Germany so that he/she will know more about the country
itself and the traditions it consists of. If a student was looking for a class
to learn the German language, so for that kind of student I would not recommend
this class but for any other student I was say this class is a good choice to
take. I took this class not only thinking I was going to learn a language but
also because I thought it was going to be an easy Gen Ed class. Im glad I chose
it, as long as you do what your supposed to do this class can be very enjoyable
and worth taking. The instructor turns it into a much more enjoyable class by
involving the students and keep them more active. I loved learning about the German
culture and knowing that my ancestors once lived in Germany and to know that I have
a generation of Germany makes this class
that much more fun. Im just glad I learned a little bit about Germany and the kind
of culture my family members once lived in.
This class was a fun, lightweight,
good laugh kind of class, a long class but a fun one at the same time.
