First, I have to say that the worst part of colloquium has to be the final presentation. I was fine with writing all the papers since I understand this is a Gordon Rule course, but I felt the presentation is unnecessary. With all of the movies, papers, other presentations, and field trips, I think the idea of this course has already been drilled into our heads. I’m fortunate for it, since I will take on this information and keep it for the future, but the presentation thrown in on top of everything is pointless. I feel this way mainly because there are other exams and projects that are demanding as well. That was a big low in this course. The high points in this course were of course the movies and field trips. I found them all to be very entertaining and informative. My favorite field trip was the one to CREW. It was a relaxing environment and I enjoyed learning about the history of it. My least favorite was ECHO although I enjoyed the sustainability of it all and what it stands for. I think it was important to focus a lot on oil and climate change, but at the same time, I wish we could have learned more about the ocean and overfishing. It would have been nice to learn more about the US policies against/for whaling and other areas like that. One other thing I enjoyed a lot in this class was the passion you, as the instructor, had for the lessons in this class. I think that helped a lot to keep the class interesting.
