I feel that this course was extremely insightful for me. It
reinforced ideas that I always try to practice in my personal and educational
life. I have always valued critical thinking and being knowledgeable in why you
have the opinions and views that you do. This course helped me realize that you
should always be on the lookout for new ideas and perspectives.
I really did not feel like I had any negative views in the
course. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the process. It was a bit difficult
for me to get in the groove of an online class. For me personally, I feel that
I tend to do better and enjoy a Face to Face experience in a classroom more
than in an online modality. This will not prevent me from taking more courses
in the future with this program, but it made me realize I need to change my
thinking when it comes to online courses and staying on top of work when you do
not have the pressure of Face to Face.
I feel that all of the topics in the course were relevant to
me. I feel that Leadership is necessary for all careers. I could feel this
especially in education. I could use all of the ideas we discussed in the
classroom. I keep going back to my history background, but I really value
critical thinking, especially in a Social Studies classroom. Part of my
philosophy of Education was that I believe that teachers should help guide
students into thinking for themselves to become competent, participant members of society. This meant, to me, that students should be able to speak
intelligently about their opinions and use fact, reason, and sometimes opinion
to discuss current events and viewpoints. I do not believe that people should
follow blindly. A person needs to be able to think for themselves rationally to
come to a conclusion. I feel that this course helped reinforce how important
this concept is for me.
