My Experiences So Far in This Class
The best sources of learning for me personally during the course of this first semester were the times where videos were shown in class, as well as the guest speaker. I found that the videos were very well representative of the material they were meant to supplement. The guest speaker about the local food charities were especially impactful, and definitely changed the way that I view such organizations.
The best vehicle of learning to me was the paper tower build in class. It was an excellent way to meet our peers and build strong friendships. The excercise was a great practice of teamwork and learning to incorporate several ideas together to attain a common goal.
The difficulties for me were that I am a psychology major and very used to learning hard facts in my lectures, whereas this class is very much based on broad concepts. I had a very hard time during my first few lectures in deciding what to take notes on. I have since strengthened my note-taking skills during lecture and am better adapting to the course content. I will continue to try and adapt my learning style for this class in the next semester as well, so that I may broaden my spectrum of knowledge. I believe this may be a struggle, but I am enjoying studying something so different than the psychological realm that I'm accustomed to. It's a great experience that I value as an integral part of my university career.
