Today, Friday, we had our first Marquette sponsored classes. First from 9:30-11:30am we had Leadership in Grassroots Organizations, the professor has lived in townships for her research and is very interesting. For the class we will be working up to a huge end of term Advocacy project where we write a 10 page paper, interview locals, and put together a presentation to advocate some idea within the community. After our lunch break we had our second class, Theology of Reconciliation and Justice. The professor had us go around, introduce ourselves and our religious backgrounds. In this class we will be reading books about the reconciliation process after the Apartheid and having weekly discussions. We also will be learning about Christianity in Africa, which is very similar to a class I already took at marquette.
Both seem to be a lot of work, but the professors are very similar to Marquette professors and since the call is all America students, I believe it'll be easier to understand and keep up!
