Core Curriculum at Colgate (#2)

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Well, my uh, my favorite core class, like, okay, it has to be I guess it's an ancient world with Professor Margaret mauer. Um, it was fun because I got to read like, you know, classical greek myths, you know, the odyssey, the Elliot, um I read a little bit of Plato Socrates and we had the bible, the Koran and so on. It was really interesting because it was from the get go made to be uh meant to be a hard class because it's a liberal arts college rigor of writing is a different level is a core class, which means the reading and writing intensive. I made the mistake of taking it with the chair of the english department Margaret Mauer. So that meant I had to up my game when he came to writing and reading um, an analysis of those ancient texts. So it was hard, harder than I expected, but it was really rewarding. Um, you know, applying those tools of analysis and comprehension of the text. So my favorite core classic Cold Game was probably challenges of modernity. Uh it was just really interesting and fascinating to have the time to meet all these thinkers of the past, like like Nietzsche and Marx and forward and to be able to actually understand what they were saying. I guess what I what I like most about it was the discussion we had in class and and trying to relate their their text, their text to present their problems, wow!
