(June 13, 2008) — Two important subjects, two daunting teachers and twice the number of students than a typical classroom. Not only is Humanities at Clark a course that identifies with sophomore year, but it is also one that is most remembered. The students were divided into two sets of teachers: Jennifer and Chris Davis and Stephanie Sajjadieh and Cynthia Nash. Discussions were an essential part of the Humanities class, from talking about current events to topics raised after reading a class novel. Some students, however, felt intimidated by the teachers during group discussions. “I tried to avoid the Davis’s coming around to listen to our discussions and asking us questions,” senior Ally Lemmer said. Students from Sajjadieh and Nash’s classes had another view on discussions. “I loved when we sat in a circle to discuss the novel To Kill A Mockingbird because we got to share opinions and interact with each other,” senior Anait Akopchikyan said. Presentations also played a big role in the Humanities classroom. The Davis’s class was assigned the democracy project on a particular country, where students had to dress formally. “The democracy project was the scariest presentation I had to do because it was in front of 60 people,” senior Andrea Martin said. “I was more scared for that than my senior project.” Senior Maral Moghadasian loved the projects that were assigned by Sajjadieh and Nash. “[Their] projects were the most creative,” she said, “especially when we had to compare the celebrations of an assigned country to our own.” Another memorable moment for many seniors in the Davis’s class was when the two teachers went in front of the class to show an example of the Year-in-the-News Project. “Mr. Davis worked it when he unexpectedly dressed up as Gandhi,” senior Tanya Basmadjian said. “The whole class was so speechless that our jaws dropped to the desk.” Humanities’ students went to the Museum of Tolerance, supplementing their lesson on World War II and the Holocaust. Though the majority of the students paid their respects to the victims of the genocide, one group decided to fool around. “We were taking the tour when all of a sudden people started acting like dorks and messing around until our docent told us to leave because he felt disrespected,” senior Rosa Peña said.
