survey

1.) the projects and activities that helped me learn the most was the comic strips, and the timelines, but only when we do it on our own, I like when we work alone. The comic strips are easy to learn from because it is my interpretation of how everything happened.

2.) your extremely long lectures did not help at all, because to me it just sounds like constant droning in another language after a while. you could try to make our learning experiences interesting.

3.) i learned about the industrial revolution and i understood, a lot about that because it was interesting and easy to learn about. I think that that was my favorite subject.

4.) i like the paper quizzes better, i don't like the excel quizzes at all.

5.) i don't really know what i like about this class, to be honest its not exactly my favorite class this year. but i suppose i liked how you gave us timelines.

6.) you can improve on your lecturing and you could try moving the people that bug the class, like marcus and zach, because they kind of bug. so yes thats all.

if i could go back and give advice to anybody

if i could go back and give advice to anybody it would be me, i would go all the way back to my first day of school and tell  myself how easy it really is if you just try. i was always a bad person in school and i always got bad grades and i always contradicted my teachers and didn't do anything ever. my parents tried everything. they were even about to put me in a boarding school! so last year i got in real trouble, so my parents brought me to this school, which i wasn't very happy about at all!!!!! but the option was either this or military school in Roswell or some other military school in the us, just as long as i got better at school. and it wasn't even school either, it was my life, i could guarantee that i would end up in juvi if my parents hadn't helped me.

how did the renaissance learning lay the foundation for expoloration

so all of the explorers from back in the day went exploring around the world for instance like Columbus. he was actually Portuguese but anyways the renaissance put a lot of ideas into there heads, i guess you could say that there was a lot of conspiracy's i suppose that made them want to explore. so because of Aristotle and Galileo and other people like that they all wanted to start exploring so they all did. but a lot of explorers didn't succeed though.
