Reflection Blog #3

This will be the last blog entry for the Discover Chicago course "Bridges of Chicago." This will mostly contain feedback about Common Hour.The lessons that I found helpful were that show University resources that are available to the students. I found this helpful because it shows students where to go if they run into academic or personal problems. For example the Writing Center helps students who are having trouble with writing a paper or just to check their rough draft paper for a class. That is the lesson that I found most helpful is to show DePaul's resources for students.

The lesson that I found most interesting is the one on diversity. I found this to be interesting because I never really saw what the other students' personal beliefs are or their economic statuses. It shows who the people are around you are. The lesson that I think could be improved is the one on financial fitness. I found it not as helpful because of the speaker was presenting it. Not to be mean or anything, but the speaker was dull and uninteresting. It didn't really captivated me and was overall boring.

Overall, I enjoyed the Common Hour experience because it helped me get acquainted with DePaul's resources. It helped my transition for high school to college. You get know more about your fellow classmates around you. And the most important thing,  helping build a foundation on which you can stand on in the beginning of your college career.
