I thought this was a great class! It was fun but informational at the same time. I feel like I learned a lot about law and I enjoyed the topics we went over. I thought they were a good choice of topics because they pertain to us directly for example when we learned about our first amendment rights and such. I like that there was a variety of assignments and that it wasn’t all repetitive. Blogs were a good ay to express your feelings that you didn’t have time to discuss in class and I like that we were able to get extra credit by commenting on other peoples blogs. The reading quizzes were fair because if you did the reading then you would do well on the quiz since they were main ideas rather than little details. I loved the Prison Town movie, it was really sad and it was informational. I like that it wasn’t a boring informational movie but an interesting one that also taught a lot so that it was easy to follow and understand. Another movie topic I would suggest is Shawshank Redemption. It is an intense movie but its amazing and gives a good sense of what Prison was like in the early to mid 20th century and probably still today.
My favorite thing we did in class was probably the “Joint Project.” I thought it was a lot of fun but also extremely interesting. The only way for it to work well though is if people take it seriously and I think that our class as well as Mrs. Herman’s 4th hour really took this project seriously and worked hard on it. The only bad thing is that we didn’t have enough time to ask all the questions people had wanted to ask so somehow if there was more time that would be even better. Some other things I liked were the note sheets, I like that you made specific note sheets where we can write definitions or fill in the blanks it just helps organization and makes notes easier to read and find. I also like that you gave us sufficient time for projects, including time to work in class. A lot of teachers do not give a fair amount of time for projects but I feel that I was not overly stressed about any projects given because I had enough time to work on them and make them complete rather than rushing all at the last minute.
I would defiantly consider studying law in college or having a future in law. I really enjoy the topic as a whole and feel that it is defiantly a possibility for a career path. I’m not sure exactly what specifically in law I would study or if I were to become a layer, what kind of lawyer I would want to be because I would not want to be a criminal lawyer for a number of reasons but I am not sure what other types of lawyers would be interesting. I just do not want a job that I am bored with, I love debating and arguing and feel that I am decent at it. I have been told by parents and many teachers that they could see me being a lawyer but I am not sure what I will end up pursuing. I will definitely take courses in college to see if I will further this passion.
