Week 15: Reading Feedback

Looking back on this semester there were several readings I liked and didn't necessarily care for. First of all, I really loved the Ramayana and all of the readings that went with it. Rama and Sita were some of my favorite characters and I loved following their story. For me, the Mahabharata was harder to get into. I felt it was more difficult to read, didn't seem to flow quite as well as the Ramayana, and for whatever reason just did not interest me as much. However, as a whole I loved this class. I thought that at times the amount of reading was a little overwhelming, but it was enjoyable most of the time. I liked that this class challenged me to become a better writer as well. Working full time, I'm always really busy during the week (especially when I have to travel). I managed my weeks by sometimes skipping one of the reading assignments and doing an extra credit assignment over the weekend when I have more time. For future students, I would recommend getting ahead of schedule as soon as you start the class. I realize that for many people, myself included, this is not really an option, but I imagine it would make all the difference.
