This class was amazing. It was probably my last choice when I signed up for first year seminars, but now I wouldn't have had it any other way. There are three papers, but it is a class meant to introduce you to college writing. They are graded fairly and informatively. The rest of the class was extremely captivating, from learning about the way the Maya lived to the basics of Mayan hieroglyphs to the final project where we had to create a piece of Maya art, spending a lot of class painting. I loved professor Fitzsimmons, he was so excited about the class, and it was contagious. He inspired me to take one of his other classes, and now I want to minor in Anthro. This class was an amazing opportunity to learn from one of the experts of the field in a small discussion setting.

I did not choose this course for my FYS, but ended up really loving it. The professor is awesome, and the class is very fun. The work is never too much but it never feels boring either. I would recommend this class even if you aren't that interested in the subject.
