This course enhanced my critical thinking skills as well as global competency. We had a Globalized Project to compare an issue between different countries. I chose to research recycling between the United States and Germany. I learned that there are many practices we can learn from Germany to improve our recycling methods!

We even attended some passport events (such as the "Hidden Brain" Discussion) together as a class and shared a great discussion.

Ms. Rabecq was a French Fulbright instructor, so it was great to learn the French language directly from a French person! We were able to ask questions about what it is truly like to live in France. I learned which stereotypes are completely false as well as which ones are actually true!

I most enjoyed learning French slang.

This class was a great reminder that our history intertwines with several countries around the world. We had a combination of videos and readings that helped us to understand just that.

One of my assignments was to write a paper on how American history fits into wider patterns of world history.

I took this class as an elective and had no idea how globalized a music appreciation class would be! We listened and analyzed several types of music around the world. I enjoyed the African style of music the most. I wrote an assignment comparing African drumming to American drumming.

This class made me realize how international the music I listen to today truly is.

Math is my favorite subject and it became even more interesting have a global aspect to it. We completed had a group project where we created a group website based on a global issue: Food insecurity. We even discussed how close of an issue this is with our campus Food Pantry! It was great to use my math skills in a global and practical way.
