I'm not entirely clear what this is supposed to be on, so I'll give my thoughts on this "Green Certificate" thing we're supposed to do.
I don;t like it. Not one bit. If it was just a string of in-class activities it wouldn't be nearl as much of an issue. As-is, the necessity of visiting 5 different events at varying times conflicts with nearly every aspect of my schedule. I work regular hours, Monday through Friday, and I have a variety of classes that I have to attend. I simply can't just leave work for an hourlong event in the midle of my Wednesday workday. So either I have to take a mandatory cut in pay by skipping several days of work, or miss out on a large portion of my grade.
Of course, that's not my only objection.While on the surface it seems like this is a nice, simple way to make the students get out of thewir shells, it is in fact a societal hell for many (including myself). What this fails to take into account is that some people, such as myself, are introverts and rather resent being forced into crowds. On the first day of last semester, I made the mistake of walking through club rush and nearly had a panic attack. Mandating us to go to crowded events and talk with peple will not make us more social, extroverted, and integrated in campus life. it will merely stress us out and cause us to resent the class
I have no idea if this was a prompted entry, but oh well. Even if I lose points at least I made my views plain.
PS I work on Campus and am already integrated with Sacstate.
