Part of the new Southern learning program included be part of a learning community. A learning community is group of people who you have two classes with. I had Anthropology and Inq. with my learning community. I liked the idea of a learning community for freshmen because it allowed me to become closer to a group of people I would not normally be affiliated with. I definitely branched out within my learning community because I became more comfortable with the people in my class. I interacted more with my peers and I was able to form study groups with my classmates.
Learning the concepts of a study group was very beneficial to me in both of my classes. In the study group I was able to ask questions or review material. Sometimes we were all equally confused and when this happened it all of our brains together seemed to make sense out of the impossible.
We have spent a whole semester together joking around and learning. I think I have made some good friends in that class; friends I hope I will keep as our four years continue. I really enjoyed being part of a learning community. I see friendly faces around the school and I say hi. Without the learning community I would be extremely shy and I know I would not do this as much. I enjoyed my first semester at SCSU. I have a long road ahead of me and I hope it goes as smoothly academically as it did this semester.
