I think this was one
of the most interactive course I’ve taken, even more so than the hybrid course I
took! I think the sheer amount of personal thoughts and creativity, diverse
expressions, and most of all; the group project really made this class one of
the best I’ve ever been in.
The Group Project was literally
done, at least for us, through blood, sweat, and tears. Everyone in my group
put so much work and thought into this while juggling four different schedules and
personalities. The project brought out a side I believe in each of us, that we
usually hide away, and so this, I believe was the biggest contribution to our
diversity awareness. I also made a friend that I’ve learned so much from and is
and will be an inspiration throughout my life. And for that I have to thank our
amazing professor.
Having an amazing
instructor is always the focal reason, I believe, for optimum class experience.
Dr. Lea, you’ve been such a help throughout our journey in how we learned to
express and engage ourselves in topics that are considered controversial in our
societies today. I felt like more than just a professor, you were a cheerleader
for each and every one of us through the rocky road of building our diversity
awareness, and I appreciate that so much, especially when today’s greatest and
most valuable commodity is time.
Your coaching us
through the group project, responding to our journal entries with thoughtful
and encouraging comments, and answering our questions with detailed responses
all contributed to a such a great atmosphere of support and encouragement; that
I feel that everyone of us had responded with going above and beyond their comfort zone to produce the best work
possible.
Walking away from this
class; I think some of the most important things I’ve learned are: the
importance of communication and having an open mind. We live in the Information
Age and no matter what society conditions us to believe, we must become a
two-way street; communicating our ideas and thoughts, while keeping our minds
and hearts open to receive and understand others. And I think all my classmates
can vouch that point as well.
