Course evaluation and self-reflection


Course evaluation and self-reflection

At the beginning of the semester, I was looking for classes that are different from the IT classes. Also, I wanted a class that teaches me how to find a job. I thought it must be helpful for my job search. Those were the reasons for enjoy taking the course.

After taking the course, I have had a positive learning experience. By experience, I really mean experience. The course did not teach long equations and theories. Rather, we have had the experience of writing CVs, cover letters, meeting, blogging and interviewing. These seemed not as important as the hard core knowledge. However, I strongly believe that these skills are absolutely necessary to differentiate yourself from the rest who are also well educated.

I really like the fact that I could receive feedback in the class. And I've received plenty from my teacher and classmates in N307. The course with final grades did not satisfy me because I would never know what was wrong with my answers, essays, or reports. The stimulating thinking process involved in many activities of the course was really enjoyable. For the blog posts, I had put a lot of thoughts when I commented in other blogs. Also, it was educational to see how my classmates interpreted and communicated in response to a same question.

I want to thank my teacher for giving us relaxing, relevant and insightful lectures. I appreciated that you have encouraged us to pursue our idea for the proposal when the Officer though it was not realistic. I am thankful for having fun. You teacher has given me many constructive criticism, encouragement, and something to look up to. I learned plenty from your strength and weaknesses. Without you my tutor, I think I could not enjoy the whole course that much.
