Class Time

I know I've mentioned this previously in the blog, but LGS classes are pretty unique in a variety of ways. Not only do they focus on topics such as global issues and social awareness, but they're often small in size and with familiar people.

I'm currently in my second semester of junior year, and by now I know just about all of the LGS scholars I'm taking classes with fairly well. We've all been in class together before and we know a lot about one another. This environment really helps foster a different kind of learning—especially for someone who is a bit introverted like me! It's hard to be afraid to raise my hand in such an environment, and I find that I participate in my LGS classes the most out of all my classes here at Adelphi.

I almost always find classes with other LGS students intellectually stimulating and thought provoking. While it is generally assumed that students will learn something new in each of their classes at a university, I find that in my LGS classes I am constantly learning new things from my fellow students as well as my professors with each class I take in LGS. Every student comes from a radically different background, and brings those experiences with him or her into each LGS class.
