Countless Theories!

The Peopling of New York City course was one of the most challenging courses that I have taken.  The class content is very specific, which increased the depth of the material.  A lot of the difficulties I experienced came from the countless theories I learned about, which at times contradicted each other.  It was up to me to pick and choose what I believed in, which was difficult but stimulating.  With respect to the assignments, I enjoyed dealing with qualitative data better than quantitative data, because I was better able to understand the theories we learned about from the interview I conducted with an immigrants.  I was able to see the course material utilized.  I loved seeing the research and discussions come to life in the assignments that we did.
