Current Events Thing

I feel like I learned a good amount of what was going on in current events around the world. I feel like if I had done a different topic other than economics I would have learned more. It was kind of hard to find and relate things in economics over a certain amount of countries in a region. Every once and awhile there would be connections but most of the time it was a whole bunch of individual stuff that I really was unsure of how to connect to each other. It seems like if I had done one of the other choices there would have been more connections and more things to learn about what was going on in the world. Mostly I learned about oil and gas because that was one of the things that week after week had cause and effect in it in different countries. One other issue was the wikispaces. Since we never got any individual feedback on them I never really knew if I was doing them right or not. It would have been more helpful if we could have at least gotten a grade for them so we could have known if what we were doing was correct or not. I think I will probably continue to look at the news for current events around the world.
