After signing up for this class and telling my family I was taking "Colloquium" they instantly asked "What is Colloquium?" So of course I tried to explain it, "its a class required to graduate from FGCU about the environment, sustainability, and going green". Of course, they didn't understand what is was, or why we it was mandatory.
Many of my friends have already taken this class, and most of them didn't have a nice thing to say about it. They always said it was dreadful and they couldn't wait for it to be over. That scared me, I didn't want to hate the class and dread going every week. Some didn't like it because they didn't like the professor and what negative things they would say about our generation. Others didn't like it because they don't care about the environment and didn't care to go green.
This isn't the first "nature" class I have taken, so I thought I would be ready for it. I enjoyed taking environmental biology of SWFL with Neil Wilkinson. Although his class was not easy and you had to try, he was very knowledgable and passionate about the course and his profession. He taught me a lot I didn't know and a lot of it I still know today. Who would have thought a city girl would have a favorite bird?
Overall, I am excited about Colloquium and to learn more about what is going on around the world to be able to live more sustainably and help the world we live in.
I hope to have a knowledgable and passionate professor for Colloquium just like I did with Mr. Wilkinson in Environmental Biology. It is sad that if this class wasn't mandatory we wouldn't know a lot of the great things we are going to learn throughout this 6 weeks.
I am excited about the field trips and hope to see different animals and of couse my favorite bird the swallow tail kite!
