So far, I can say that I’ve been enjoying the class. I find that I really enjoy the activities we do. Honestly, the only negative I can say about the class is that it’s so long, and we don’t leave early hahaha. Which is cool because class is supposed to last for a certain length of time, and we all already knew that coming in. But time is one of those funny things that you have to experience to know how you feel about it, so this is certainly an interesting experience just in terms of time. It’s not like a lab where you come into with a goal to accomplish that may take all of 2.5 hours, instead we sit in class just sort of counting down the time. Not because what we’re learning isn’t interesting or useful, but 2.5 is so abnormal that you can’t help but pay attention to it.

What I think works is having open discussions, where we learn material for a little while, then have brief discussions about or feelings or experiences with the concept that we’ve been working on. I’ve learned a lot about so of my classmates that I may not have learned because it’s not a part of typical conversation.

I think the quizzes are really good as far as helping us learn the material because we go over the questions, and anything that we didn’t understand in our readings that may be on the quiz, we get clarity on and remember because knowing the material matters in these moments.

I don’t know that anything more could be done to help improve my learning because I feel like I have a good understanding of everything that we’ve covered. Maybe at some point during class or at the end of it, we should get another (non-grade based) quiz to make sure that we are really cement the information in our minds.
