2. In high school, I was more of a physics person, but I took both Honors Biology and Honors Chemistry. I liked the classes, but I always thought that physics was more interesting. I took both AP Physics 1 and C: Mechanics. Even though I struggled a bit in these courses, I still found the subject matter interesting. However in college, I took Physics 1212, which focuses mainly electricity and magnetism. I thought that I would love this subject matter, but I hated it, so I have decided to go back and try the life science classes again. In college, I also took Introduction to Weather and Climate because my ultimate goal is to become a meteorologist. I loved that class because it focused on ideas that interested me a lot as well as allowing me to continue on the path to get a degree in Atmospheric Sciences.
3. In this course, I would like to learn more on how daily human activities affect the world around us. Since I am majoring in Atmospheric Sciences, I need to learn more about climate change, and I think that learning about how human activities affect our environments would be very interesting.
4. I think making a video the day after a game day and showing it off would be a great idea for a project. When I lived near Myers Quad last year, I experienced first hand how much trash is left around following the game. I think since all of the students live on or around the campus, we all would like to keep it clean. The only problem with this idea would be finding a good way to reach the maximum audience to show off a video.
5. With the service learning project, I might learn more about working with a team to make a large change in the community around us.
6. I would like to learn more about how the environment is affected by human activities every day. I think the recent climate change problem is interesting and would like to learn more about it from a biological perspective.
