Last Traction Journal

This quarter was chill and easier than the last 2 which was nice. But this quarter felt more unorganized and confusing than the last. I hope that the new transition helps fix things.

To be honest I don’t think I learned very much or felt like I developed much. I think I am not getting what I want or need out of this course. This really bummed me out because Zosia Sherwood spoke so highly of the program to me but I think unfortunately we got very different experiences. When I told her what had changed she was shocked. Hopefully redoing the program or changing the focus will help. Or at least give students in-class work time. Asking questions over text is terrible. Usually, when we ask questions we need an answer right away and having to wait is awful. providing in-class work time would seriously help students. We would be able to ask questions in person as they came up which in turn might produce better projects. I hope you guys really consider this; even if it was one day a week for half the period.

I will take forward the confidence in myself after this quarter.

I will be dropping the course in the fall. Thanks for the confidence and the new friends/relations! <3

My highlight was the warmer weather and not having to walk home in the dark this quarter!

Take care all.

    Hey Sophie,
    I 100% agree that in-class work time would benefit everyone. Actually, that’s a point that my VP2 group talked about frequently. Totally respect your decision dude. Do what is best for you and your future. It was fun having you in class. Best of luck on your journey. <3

    Hi Sophie,

    I agree strongly with your frustration and also am hoping that the reorg of the minor will bring up positive change for both the teaching staff and the students.
