Animals! Being an introvert it gave me the perfect opportunity to work on my own but outside of the traditional read/study/listen to lecture setting.  I spend a lot of time observing nature now.

I had an assignment/project that involved a semester-long internship tied to "academic research"--this helped me connect what I had learned about sociology in previous courses and through peer-reviewed journal articles to real-world implications, focused on housing justice. This project was clearly tied to my interests (social work/helping people) and was relevant to actually making a difference/potentially impacting policies and practices.

Playing Jeopardy in my Abnormal psychology class! It was valuable to me because our Professor put a lot of effort into making it (wording it so that we could be connected to it), it was a fun activity and also helped us form teams and use great communication so that we could all help each other out (as well as other teams). It was a great bonding experience too so it felt really special to me :)

I interviewed my Amma and learned so much about her that I never would have known otherwise. I also learned that the stories of ordinary people are just as important as those that make it into the history books

In a grad student class, we worked on an assignment regarding transformative education.  I had to present with a group and we got really creative in our approach. This was the first time I was able to explore a true sense of creativity in an academic context.

We had to write a parody essay about one of the books we were reading at the time. It really deepened my understanding of the book and made me look at it in new ways. Plus I had fun with it!
