My initial reaction is that I don’t want to take this class. I did not understand why we have a techniques of computer analysis as international studies students, but as we begin to start class I have a better understanding of why this class is important. I have a better understanding of why we have this class, but I am not necessarily excited about it because it  is something different and outside my comfort zone. One thing I am excited about though is the opportunity to learn more of the technology side of political science. I know that it will be a useful skill to have for my capstone class as well as for when I attend graduate skill. Also, not that everything is about skills that I can put on a resume, but I will be able to add whatever technology pieces we learn to my resume. I think my greatest concern about this class is using the application and remembering how to do everything. I would not necessarily consider myself a computer wiz or anything like that.
