metacognition: First Semester Humanities

The first semester in humanities flew by faster than I realized. The books we read and the activities we did in class were extremely effective. I think the main reason they all worked so well was because they seemed to fit in with topics of other classes. In issues and answers we study a lot of philosophy and that is exactly what Sophie’s World taught us. Because I was already familiar with these ideas, it made the book more of a brush up of the information previously learned. All the music activities we did and vertical listening helped and was familiar to me because of my music theory and choir classes. The connection within classes is an effective way of learning. The timing of the topics worked perfectly in this class.
