I remember this time last year when class registration was happening and I was trying to figure out my preferred ULLC. I remember seeing “Wilderness as a Sacred Landscape” as an option and immediately chuckling. I wanted to take the class just because it did not sound especially difficult and was probably fairly interesting. I ended up registering too late and missing out on taking any of the ULLCs until this past semester. Mike and I decided to take this class together and I really did not know what to expect.
This class ended up being my favorite class this semester. It was my favorite because it helped me find a lot more meaning and significance in the times I’ve spent with nature. Going into this semester, I was not expecting to spend hours every night studying and taking notes. I don’t do that for any class, to be honest. This course turned out to be a very valuable part of my college career thus far. With the liberal learning core emphasis on constructing a successful argument and research paper, the fundamental themes of this class were anchored and not susceptible to negligence or dismissal. While some of the topics we discussed in class from the text books were lofty and free from abundant solid evidence, I think if you truly paid attention to Professor Redick’s lectures and looked beyond his humorous and outlandish anecdotes, there are a lot of provocative and valuable connections were absorbing that set this class apart from others.
