This group project was very relevant and important to complete the lectures we had been given by our professors. It was like coming full circle. I felt my group members as well as the other groups who presented to me put a lot of time and research into their PowerPoint’s. My group decided to focus on the contributions African Americans have made in studies such as Science, Literature, History, and Politics. Another group did it on mental health in the black community, and the other on African American influence on the Arts.
The lectures were representative of the amount of thought that the professors wanted us to put into our own projects. I felt that they prepared me for the amount of research I needed to do. The blog posts prepared me for the level of writing I needed to show. I think this project was necessary to prepare us students for what it means to be a college student because our hands were not held. We were given approximately three weeks to pull things together and some people shined through as leaders more so than others. As freshman our grades are very serious to us so we really worked to pull other students through this project who were not doing their fair share of work. This project was a growing experience and we got t explore many aspects of African American life and history. I believed before this project that many of the lectures were not important but after presenting I can appreciate its importance.
