Richland Community College Reflection

When I first started Richland Community College, I thought it was going to be a breeze because of it being a community college. From the first week of it though, I realized this is not going to be a walk in the park. I realized I will have to put in extra time to study for tests and writing expansive papers.
After being in Professor Trickel’s class for one semester, I have learned to study beforehand and not leave anything till the last minute, his class has taught me that time management is necessary in order to succeed. The class has also granted me new friends, who have helped me whether it be helping me understand the lesson, or sharing their study methods and materials. I have also learned to write detailed notes that elaborate on every aspect of an event. Also, I have learned to analyze my notes, the text, and the lecture to further understand the events that were going on in that point in history. Professor Trickel’s class has helped me a lot in understanding on how I will survive Richland Community College. …show more content…
The department has helped me understand events in history, by giving me a good professor. The department has also allowed me to go out of my comfort zone and go and interview someone from the Civil Rights Era. The interview helped open my eyes and see that America has truly changed. Before the interview, I always thought America had not changed from its discriminatory ways, but my interviewee, Mr. Morash, helped bring awareness to the struggles the people of color felt. This realization would have not been possible without the assignment, that the history department had assigned.
So a formal thank you from me to the History Department and Professor Trickel for giving opportunities and information to expand my knowledge in United States
