  • We started the class by sharing comments/concerns regarding this course in the Spring semester. It is going to be held on Fridays, and it will be worth half of a credit. There will also be opportunities for an alternative assignment/time for those who won’t be able to make the Friday afternoon classes work with their schedule.
  • Talking about our field trip was great since we did not get an opportunity to after it was over since many people had classes to go to and were rushing. We went over prep notes and were able to discuss the complex feelings and ideas that were brought up while visiting the burial site. Many people mentioned how they noticed signs and areas of the burial ground in disrepair. We talked about the history of slavery in Virginia and how measures are being taken in order to acknowledge the atrocities committed. Everyone in the class had different experiences while learning about the darker parts of our nation’s past.
  • Finally, we talked about our midterm and what is expected. There are two papers to write, and they should be about 2-3 pages long.
