And the Winner Is......

        An average student at Wittenberg enrolls in about 32 classes during their four years of college.  Of those 32 courses, is it possible to have a great learning experience and remarkable professor in each one? Unfortunately, the odds are not in your favor (any Hunger Games readers will understand that reference).  However, that just means the classes students do find particularly intriguing and stimulating will not only be excellent experiences while here at Witt but will provide great memories after they graduate.
       It is difficult for me to pick a favorite course that I have taken at Wittenberg because I have had some wonderful classroom experiences that are all very unique to one another.  However, if I had to choose one course that stood out from the rest, I would say my Introduction to Photography course that I took in the spring of my junior year.  I already knew I had an interest in photography but I did not know that I would love it as much as I did.  The course used solely 35mm cameras and black and white film.  I also was responsible for developing and editing my own images for each assignment.  This class was the ultimate creative environment for me because it was scientific in the developing but also extremely whimsical and invigorating when I had a camera in my hands.  I loved being totally in charge of what my photographs looked like and yet not getting that satisfaction until after the developing and printing process.  Black and white photography is such a beautiful art form, I think that it is great that Witt offers this course as an A general education requirement.
       With every high there must be a low; thus, my least favorite class that I have taken while at Wittenberg was during the first semester of my freshmen year.  It was an ethics and morality class regarding several different religions.  The class material was very dense, partly because the professor was not adequately conveying the content to us students.  He was not very interactive with the class and did mostly lecturing for the full hour.  It also was not very challenging because for every test, the professor would give the test questions and go over the answers prior to the exam.  All in all, I did not feel that this class really added to my Wittenberg experience as a student.  However, it did not deter me from the school and is truly a needle in the haystack of great classes I have taken at Witt.
