The big question was brought up during the first day of class. Which was what do you think colloquium is and what have you heard about colloquium? We were given a note-card to write down all our thoughts and feelings about what we have heard and think we know about colloquium. The professor told us that we can write down anything we want and to tell the truth because we can select what we want to share with the class and what we want to keep to ourselves. The first thought that came to my mind was “outside field trips”. The first time I set foot onto FGCU and heard about the university colloquium, every one said that you go on outside field trips which are very different to other classes offered at FGCU.
The second thought that came to my mind was that colloquium is for learning about the environment and how to take care of it, as well as finding areas locally in Fort Myers that focus on environmental issues. Another topic that pops up into my mind about colloquium and that everyone would agree on is that this class is a service learning course and it is a FGCU requirement that fulfills service learning along with a Gordon rule requirement. The most common statement that I heard about colloquium and that I had to include on my note card is “colloquium is a course that everyone has to take some time or later in your junior year”. I think that was my favorite idea that I put on my note card.
Later on in the class we were given a presentation on why it is important to preserve the environment and why this class can be useful for us in the future. Overall the big question in the end was simple and the answer was a sustainable future. What we can do on our part to help the environment and how we can be informed about it.
