Political Science: Squeezing out all of the juices

School is often remembered for the content matter that is learned and discovered in class. Homework and tedious book work hallmark classroom settings, and it can often times become tiresome. However, political science was different than what is usually expected from a class. Instead of skimming books for answers that would only be remembered for maybe a few weeks, we spent time studying in depth the topics at hand. Political science taught me that school should be spent fully understanding and comprehending the subjects being reviewed. It is important for people to use their knowledge in places other than at school, and how could this be done if nothing is remembered after a 45 minute class. Overall, political science has allowed me to realize that learning is in fact meaningful, and should be made to stay with you for the long term.
