I thought that Tuesday's class was a lot of fun. I seems like each class is so short because I am having so much fun in class. I actually like C.W. Post this semester! That is a first. I think that it was great that Professor Dengting did a lesson on how we learn. It is so important for teachers and future educators to know how their students learn. If a teacher does not know this, then he or she will not be able to adapt to the needs of a student and this is a bad thing. Let students be creative and ask questions.
A teacher has to appeal to all types of learning, tactile, audio, etc. and this will give all of the students a fair chance to get a good grade. I think that Professor Dengting does this and that is why she is such a great teacher.
Also, the soul-mate exercise was so much fun! Now I know I am actually capable of having things in common with others; I always thought I was different. So this makes me happy.
Speaking of happy, my SM project on being positive is going very well. I think being more of a positive person is why I have made much more friends this semester. I can't wait until our next class on Thursday when we discuss intelligence.
In my own words, I think intelligence is our ability or capacity to use reason, critical thinking, solve problems and store knowledge. I also think is has to do with what we can produce with our knowledge, like works of art, poems, lyrics and essays. Based on my definition I would consider myself intelligent, but I do know there are people that are more intelligent than I am.
