Reflective Course Narrative
This was the first course I had ever taken about Islam. Being that I was studying abroad in the south of Spain, there was a heavy Muslim influence there. I decided to take this course because I wanted to learn more about the origins of Islam and also about how Islam was present in the history of Spain. It was a very challenging class for me because I did not know much Islamic history. I believe this would have been a better class for me if I had already had some previous knowledge of the topics discussed in class. The class had two exams and they were incredibly difficult. I took numerous amounts of notes during the lectures and yet, somehow, I was totally unprepared for the level of depth that the exams demanded. As challenging as this course was, it was very enlightening and I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the origins of Islam. Her I have linked some of the notes that I took in this course.
