Experience: Course Connection: Modern Life and Its Discontents
“I have learned quite a great deal in participating with the Modern Life and Its Discontents Course Connection. It has been a great way to introduce myself to some concepts in modernity as well as meeting a bunch of professors that were really awesome in helping me feel comfortable and welcome on campus.
“It is really difficult to pinpoint one small thing that I learned and to describe it in detail because I think that the Course Connection was great not only as an experience but also as an academic leaping ground. I was introduced to lots of great Modernist thinkers and works while having the opportunity to discuss them at length with a group of professors coming from many different disciplines.
“I really feel as if I learned a lot from the group and that it was, perhaps, the most academically enriching experience I had at OWU last year.”
