What have I learned from German Culture:

            I have learned many things this semester in the class. Things I had no idea about Germany before. To tell you the truth, I knew nothing about Germany. Only thing I knew about when people mention Germany was Beer, Hitler and Nazi. That is the first thing my mind went straight too. But now I have leaned many more things. Such as RAF, music, art, food, and wartime. I really enjoyed this class because it wasn’t my normal hard classes, it was a class that I enjoyed coming to and it didn’t stress me out. I really enjoyed the class discussion and debates we had and all the laughs and jokes the professor made. It kept things interesting.

What I enjoyed learning about the most:

            I think what I liked most about this class was the movie Berlin Calling. I thought it was a great movie and taught me a lot about the German Rave scene. I really enjoyed this movie because it was filled with parting, drugs, and just outrageous behavior. I think it is always fun to watch movies that are completely different than your own life. I also enjoyed the movie Baarder-Meinhof. I liked learning about the RAF and about the radicals and how things changed over the years with that group. This group of people believed in a lot and stood for nothing less than what they believed was right.

Overall:

            I think this class was one of my favorite classes this semester. It was easy going, less stress, and interesting topics. The topics we covered in class were great and I would tell anyone to take this class!!
