End of Course

This course was difficult because a lot of the material was very depressing.  I was most interested in studying veterans and Holocaust survivors in relation to trauma.  Possibly this is because we went to the museums for field trips.  The Military Museum was great because it created a feeling of actually experiencing the war.

I did a lot of research on the Holocaust for my paper, which added a lot to my knowledge gained from this course.  I actively read all reading assignments and tried to engage with what the author was saying, and by keeping an open mind I was able to see things from another point of view.

My performance in this course was O.K.  I was sick at the beginning of the course, and I've been having a rough time here lately and the depressing content of the course did not help at all.  I really had a hard time getting all of the work done, and I think a lot of it had to do with how I've been feeling.  The content of the course was very interesting, though, and I learned a lot and am glad to have taken the course.
