Course Reflection Narrative
Throughout the semester I feel that my study and development of the Spanish culture & civilizations regarding geography, religion, and the arts of the Iberian Peninsula has come a long since the beginning. As the semester went on we learned a lot of really interesting topics from the very beginning of what is Spain now. I would have to say the topic we went over in class that really helped me fulfill the MLO 3 requirement was when we covered the dictatorship of Francisco Franco which was between the years 1936 - 1975. This helped me because we were able to view the entire history of this horrible time in Spain and was very interesting to me because if find war history very interesting. I found this topic very interesting because I was able to write my final paper on a topic that took place during the dictatorship of Franco which was the Lost Children of Franco. Also during this course every week we had a weekly discussion that we needed to write and these were in a way fun to write because they made me use the notes I had taken throughout the week plus they made me think about all that we had discussed during the week. Although there was a lot of reading being done in the class I did enjoy everything we did during the course because history is one of my favorite subjects to cover so this course really piqued my interest. Although the class was fun there are some challenges that occurred that I still need to develop to help me improve myself. The main problem that occurred in the class was reading the assignments we were given weekly I tried reading them and for the most part I did but sometimes they were just too much and overwhelmed me.
