Aaron week 4

This week has been really good for me. I was a little low on hours at the beginning of the week, but I've put in 9 so far and I'm up to 46. I hope to have 50 after today. I've really just been working on the same stuff, looking at what other schools offer or require as far as bible or Christianity courses. I've found that a lot of them have spiritual formation courses and senior seminar courses. Most of the time these aren't required for all students, but it's helpful to see that they exist and descriptions of them.

The more I look into things, the more I'm becoming convinced that some type of senior course is the way to go. Coming in, all students take world changers. I don't think anyone really appreciates it at the time; I know that I sure didn't. I heard the term UNV 480 this week, and after talking with Megan I think that might be a direction to pursue. Something that is a lot more discussion based than the freshman class of world changers. Maybe completely throw out the book reading, and treat it as a senior seminar. Talk about some of the same things that are in world changers again. I went to a couple world changers sessions this semester and, during the discussion period on Postmodernism, I felt like I had a ton that I could contribute to the conversation. But there wasn't time for it. I appreciate what we had in world changers a lot more now than I did then. I think that we would all benefit from revisiting those topics in a senior seminar type course and discussing how they fit into our lives as Christians.

My greatest joy this week may very well have been getting so many hours. But I'm also really intrigued by the idea of UNV 480. The greatest struggle for me has been making myself sit down for hours at a time and just research all theses programs that other schools do.

I guess my question this week is how does something like the UNV 480 course I described sound to all of you? Would it be beneficial, knowing what you know now, to revisit how the topics discussed in world changers apply to your life after school?
