General Discussion

I always come back to the "History of Social Movements Class". I walked in, maybe about 15 students and you could just smell the Liberalism there. lol. I did take a critical view on the black power movement. But I was respectful and it was fun engaging the students and I remember two things about the professor. When I had my 1 on 1 meeting with him about my paper, he applauded me in being so engaged, told me, "stay engaged" or something to that impact. I think he liked the fact that his class was constantly filled with Liberal students and finally a center right student had showed up. And it wasn't because he wanted to show me up, I think he wanted his Liberal students as well as himself to be confronted with a different viewpoint and also I get a different viewpoint. I came away from that class no longer thinking Liberals were the devil. Yea I still didn't agree with them on everything, but I loved being exposed to the perspective. I bet any of them now would go, "THAT GUY is now one of us?" LOL.

And on my final paper, I got an 88. His only critique was something like, "I think you could have done more with this paper". And he was right, I wrote the damn thing the night before, lol. So he busted me, but I guess it was still good enough to get a B out of it. He was a fantastic professor. Something I just can't say about nearly all Conservative profs I had (the Chemistry guy was a really good prof overall, his global warming rant aside).
