Engaging Students Through a Panel Discussion

This innovative class continues to surprise me. I didn’t know what to expect with regards to “The Panel.” What I learned was how a simple change in classroom structure i.e. students interviewing students, could explode into such interesting and informative conversation! I especially liked how the students who are currently teaching, offered an insight into what to expect for those of us who are not.
I found my other classmates to be intelligent, polite and shockingly similar to me! That was a welcome surprise. It gives me a feeling that I am following the right career path based on my colleague’s similar personality traits. I also enjoyed the discussion about teen stereotypes. It allowed me to understand and acknowledge important issues that I had not readily thought about. What I mean by that is, even though I know the topic of adolescent stereotypes is an important one, I never really studied it with great depth. It is now a subject that I feel should be a priority in my style of teaching.
