I am a junior and I have attended 3 different colleges, and I have never debated a rubric before! I found this rather interesting and it is kind of a good point. This is our education and we are paying a ton for it, so why shouldn\u2019t we get a say in how we are graded. I also found it interesting that everybody had different ideas about what we should be graded on and how much everything should be worth. Our group decided on 50\/50 for the project and the presentation, point wise. I feel like this concept, of debating criteria, should be included in all college courses. Our education is supposed to be a combined effort with our professors. The goal is not to regurgitate everything we had learned over our four years in college. Our goal is to be better intellectuals and individuals. I totally agree that we should have a say.<\/p>\n

In class on Tuesday we talked about Goddess Pilgrims. I had already blogged about it based off the reading and I found that I was rather misguided. I thought the article was a comparison of tourism and pilgrimage. Instead, it was how Goddess Pilgrimages are different. This article gave us some different definitions for religion and pilgrimages. It mentioned that a pilgrimage is a means or method for healing and that it was a spiritual rapture and a bodily pleasure. I like the idea of a pilgrimage being both spiritual rapture and bodily pleasure, because I don\u2019t know if it would be as moving if you experienced one without the other on your trip. I also enjoyed this being from a woman\u2019s point of view because we got a different perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
