Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...
This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.
We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.
That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

Thinking
Having an open platform for writing, I feel as though I am thinking much more. Last year, my teacher would give my class more interesting reading. The readings would be complex, but much more interesting. I would actually find myself performing on the tests much better. The main reason, in my opinion, is because I would be thinking about the reading much more, rather than trying to memorize the facts. The class discussions are very important to any class. It helps the class interact with his or her thinking and combine it with others thoughts. Not only does it allow myself to understand my thinking more, it enlightens me to how others think about the same reading or idea. Project 1 is a great project/paper to start the class with. It allows us to write about something we have discovered on our own. Our platform for learning is up to us. So overall, the class has had interesting reading that have led to great discussions with unlimited thoughts to papers.
