Well, the journey has come to an end. First, let me thank you Dr. Spencer I have really enjoyed your course and particularly this blogging assignment. I never thought I would ever have my own blog where I could let my opinion be known. Second, let me thank my fellow classmates for providing insightful opinions and comments about my posts. The thought and time you put into your posts is greatly appreciated.
When enrolling in this class I was not completely certain what my enjoyment level would be though now as it comes to the final week. I can say without doubt this has been my favorite class at Bowling Green. The wide array of issues we touched upon as well as well as the variety in assignments has really made me work and think. For example, I will take my epiphany and complete it as my master’s project. My favorite discussion just occurred recently regarding weight and the athlete. Though I am still grateful for your efforts Dr. Spencer to get us to talk about race. I do know personally that as a result I am much more open discussing issues of race.
I will remember many things from the course and continue to use them in my professional life. I do not really have any ideas or suggestions outside of making the blog assignment mandatory to add to the class. Also, please keep Jeopardy really think it allows the class to lighten up and have fun while also illustrating what they have learned. I am grateful this course is a part of the Sport Administration curriculum.
On a personal note, I look forward to working with over the next several months as I finish my master’s project and earn my master’s degree from Bowling Green State University. Well there are no more until next times, so this is it, pretty simple.
From a Simple Man-Thank you and good luck to all of my classmates on their future endeavors.
I am really glad you decided to do a blog and found it to be rewarding. It is especially gratifying when people post comments and you are able to receive instant feedback. I was grateful as well that we had some of the discussions we had in class--especially on the weight issues. There were a lot of students in this class who seemed to have insights and expertise on the topic so that was interesting for me to hear. This was the first time we did the Jeopardy and I am definitely encouraged about keeping that. After all, Madrid has to be glad we did--since that was the difference in their winning the Olympic Bid!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Ian, I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the readings and topics we discussed in class, and look forward to working with you on your project!
