Class Discussions

The group discussions add an interesting dynamic to the classroom. With a room full of unique people such as our class, the flood of different and conflicting ideas and opinions never stops. Some times (Most of the time) I find quite a few things said to be completely wrong, if not completely infuriating. But never the less, the format opens your mind to many different viewpoints and makes you think about your own opinion or stance on the given subject. I don't know that I "learn" like I would in a normal classroom setting, but this is a different kind of class, dealing with a different kind of topic. It's still pretty fun and it creates a freer classroom compared to most classroom's stuffy environment.

  1. If you find them wrong or, better yet, infuriating, you better start speaking up, Erik. Ideas need to be tested, and one of the best ways to test them is to argue the other side and see where that goes.
