Week 12 recap

Week 12: This week is spring break for many but, for me its a time to catch up on my school work. Among the many things I need to complete during spring break is my homework for Political Science 393. For POLS393, my assignments were 1) Read 2 books, 2) Develop a term paper 3) Watch a discussion and write a review, 4) Post my blog posts. So far I have accomplished this all except for finishing one of the two books. The due date is 4/12, so I have time but, want to finish by this Friday. It took me an entire day to structure my term paper but, now I feel comfortable with the direction of my thesis. The Kirtsaeng discussion was interesting and enjoyable. Watching an actual discussion of a copyright issue was very helpful in giving me a better understanding of the copyright laws and constitutional rights. Below is the link to the discussion, which I recommend you check out if your not one of the professors or students who have watched it. My blog post are late but, I am still making this effort to complete all 16 weeks.

Almost 2/3 finish with this semester and I feel confident in getting an A grade. Of course the workload is heavy, but a little bit of effort can go a long way. Last time I checked the points log, my placing was 3rd overall in the class. The students in this class are probably one of the most brightest groups I've worked with in college. My competitive side forced me to put in that extra effort to be able to compete with some of the best Political Science undergraduates at UH-Manoa. This is also a great opportunity to learn new things, not just from professors, but also students.
