I like to think that I do well in classrooms that are mainly discussion-based. I usually like the readings, I like to hear different perspectives and interpretations of text, I love to debate on certain issues, etc. But why do I like it so much? What do I bring to a classroom that gives as much as I take?<\/p>\n
-Voice. I will always talk if I have something to say. Although that might sounds bad without context, let me explain further. I don’t mind to be wrong. Ever. In fact, I like it when someone picks a debate with me in a classroom because that means I have to argue my belief\u00a0and it means I hear someone else’s side. I don’t try to shut people out when I talk, I try to invite them into the discussion. Being wrong means I learn something new.<\/p>\n
-Respect. I will always listen to what other people try to say. I will never think that what I have to say is more important than what you have to say. I will not try to control the discussion, I want everyone to have the opportunity to discuss. Also, even if I disagree with your opinion, I will not go and shut you down immediately. It’s a classroom. Classrooms are meant for learning. As long as you can back up your claim and are not just playing devil’s advocate to get participation points, I’m ok with disagreement in the classroom.<\/p>\n
-Clarity. A lot of times in a classroom, if someone doesn’t understand what the professor or other students are saying, they will just stay quiet. I like for the classroom to be on the same page. If I feel that someone has said something particularly confusing, or that the class could benefit from someone rephrasing what they just said, I will gladly speak up and ask for clarification.<\/p>\n
I feel confident that I can bring this three things into the library with me every time we have a class. I look forward to what y’all can bring as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
