To be honest, I thought this was a good discussion, but by far the least productive/educational one. Somehow the NERF weapons moved from the hall to the classroom, which added an extra dynamic, although it certainly took away from the discussion of world politics. I found most of the class was taken up by petty bickering and reasoning why the chairs were distributed in the manner they were. While we had the opportunity to discuss sovereignty, hegemony, and annexation, I must admit I am thankful for Professor Jackson’s class-wide gun control policy.
This is one of the few classes in my life where I learn something new with every class. I find my classmates absolutely brilliant and have learned a lot from every one of them in our discussions. I must say that so far I have been quite pleased with the University College program and hope that we all continue to get along and learn from each other.
I’ll conclude by just saying that I think our group has the right attitude, both inside and outside the classroom. We can have serious debates in class and then can go out for dinner as friends. We are serious students who don’t take themselves too seriously. Keep it up everyone; this is going to be a great year!

I agree with you completely; I think that for the most part our group has a great dynamic and I am very much looking forward to the year ahead.
