In my economics class, we had to create and present a prezi to the class explaining GDP or gross domestic product. We had to inform our classmates on what it was, what was included and not included, and how to calculate it. I learned that although GDP measures the value of a country's overall output, it does not measure the quality of life. It made me reflect on the things I've learned in contemporary themes about happiness and how someone can lead a "good" life without the materialistic things that are measured in calculating GDP.

Although this assignment did not necessarily concern economics or government, it aided me in my other presentations. We were asked to create a powerpoint giving tips on how to create and present a well put powerpoint. It helped me identify my weaknesses in my presentations and I practiced on improving them. I enjoyed this assignment because it is not only useful in this class but will be useful throughout my college years.
Each group in our government class was assigned a chapter to present, and my group was assigned the federal bureaucracy. We covered how the federal bureaucracy is organized in a way to ensure that the federal government operates smoothly. We discussed the various offices, departments, agencies, and services that make up this institution. Each member of my group was assigned a section in which we had to highlight the most important aspects. From this assignment, we more deeply understood the federal bureaucracy and its elements.
