Self-Assessment
I think going into the class I really had no idea what to expect. The course description was vague and I signed up thinking this would be one of the classes I would dread going to during the quarter. I was pleasantly surprised that the class was relaxed and open, and most of all, interesting. I think I learned a lot about public art and some different forms of expression, specific artists, and a lot about Seattle. I like that this class opened up a new area to explore instead of something I learned in class I’ll never think about again. The things we discussed and class and watched videos on were fun to share with friends and in turn they’d bring up interesting things that they’ve heard about in the public domain. I thought it was interesting that this is one of the only classes I’ve had where most other people were eager to talk about it or share their thoughts and opinions. I’ve never gotten that kind of reaction when I talk about my speech or accounting classes.

I believe I tried hard and put in a lot of effort for my midterm and final presentations. I found them interesting to research and rewarding to put time into. I could have done better with attendance. I missed a few classes due to personal reasons.

I think I feel prepared to learn more about this subject. I certainly would be interested in taking another class. I think it is hard to judge whether or not I feel prepared or unprepared to continue my studies because the class itself was not extremely structured in terms of grades. I honestly have no idea how I scored, or how my projects were graded. However, in terms of pure interest I believe I am prepared.
