Self Assesment

This year in freshman Seminar I have learned many things about african american culture. The presentation by Dr. Carr was the most memorable presentation for me because I was able to learn the reason why Africa was where all of the great civilizations came from. He explained that there were african influences on every single civilization including the greeks. Citing the fact that the greeks learned how to compute the pythagorean thorem from the ancient egypotians who ended up building the pyramids. Also another highlight from freshman seminar is the trip to new york when we went to new york I was able to learn about african barial grounds and why they were sacred. The sacredness of the site was truely moving. Also the fact that the staff allowed us to hang out in the Bronx for hours was great I visited Rucker park the site where famous basketball players like LeBron James and Ron Artest played. In the end I am very satisfied at with freshman seminar. Freshman Seminar was great for me beacuse I learned a great deal of information in the class.
