Reflections on Ed Psych

As a whole i have really enjoyed this class over the course of the semester. Although i did not always enjoy reading the textbook and have some reservations about the text that i have mentioned in a previous blog, i really think i will find what i have read helpful in my future career as a teacher. hopefully i will be able to recall the major things that were highlighted in the text and use it properly with students when appropriate. i also really appreciated many of our class discussions. i felt as though our classroom was open to hearing everyone's opinion. i liked even more the fact that if i or someone disagreed with something that was discussed, no one was afraid to give a different side of the argument. although sometimes we kind of talked ourselves in circles and the debates or arguments or discussions did not seem like they went anywhere, it was still fun to banter with the class and share opinions on certain matters. the structure of the class also made it enjoyable. everyone was pretty comfortable with jim which made everything a bit less stressful. monday night classes also helped to break about the rigid routine of daily classes. again all in all i really appreciated this semester in ed psych and found myself really enjoying it.
