Liberal Learning in Biology......FINALLY!!

Over the course of the last couple IS classes we have discovered what Liberal Learning is. Unfortunetly the only class where I feel I have been liberally learning, that is learning solely because I enjoy it, has been during my IS course. But when I was given my "Hot Topics in Biology" assignment for the weekend I was surprised by the requirements. The topic was actually very interesting and the actual homework required me to pretend I was a legitamite doctor for awhile. It was actually enjoyable and reading and researching about the actual topic didn't feel like work, because I actually wanted to learn more about the topic. Even though it is unrealistic to think that all assignments and classes could be like this it surely teaches you to appreciate when a topic comes along that you actually like. Hopefully as I progress through college the classes I take begin to feel more like Liberal Learning. Hopefully once I get through all the required courses and start taking classes that are interesting to me will I really begin to like college. As of now college still feels like work, but assignments such as this one in biology really help to give you a break from the norm.
