Part Eight: Message to Future Colloquium Students
To any and all students who attend FGCU and who have not yet taken Colloquium, this is a message for you. I do not want to hear that you do not want to take this course because it does not pertain to your major. I do not want to hear that it is a pointless class. I want those students who have preconceptions about this course to realize that you have been misled. University Colloquium has provided students with the opportunity to learn something about themselves and has given students the chance to develop an ecological perspective and a sense of place. We are all an integral part of the world we live in, whether you choose to accept it is your choice. Colloquium gives you a chance to educate yourselves about environmental issues and takes you on a journey. You will need to prepare yourself for a lot of work. The course is very rigorous but it is for your own good. You will need to stay organized, by keeping track of assignments. I found that the best way to stay organized was by making a checklist of everything you need to accomplish for the week. I was able to finish my assignments on time and gain extra credit for reading A Land Remembered before the due date. This class is not a waste of your time because you will leave this class with a better understanding of the natural environment and learn how to meet the needs of today without compromising the needs of tomorrow.
