9/13: Sharing what we see when we read
When we read Dugal’s letters, everyone is going to see and interpret something different. It is important to be honest with our own thoughts. When we read how our group interprets each letter, we are able to understand different perspectives.

9/13: A Designer’s Notes
It is interesting to think about “what I want to into” instead of “when I grow up” because everyone progresses at their own pace. Instead of all of a sudden “growing up” and being thrown into the real job world, it is better to think about your career goals as a progression of your authentic self as you try and figure out what you want to do professionally.

10/2: "Why I Teach" Article
I'm sure most college students would agree with me, but I view most general education courses as classes I am required to take to graduate and are typically not that difficult. Especially when it is a 100 plus student lecture hall, you can tell as the weeks go on people get distracted and lose interest as they do other things on their computer during class time. After reading this article, I have a different perspective on the concept behind general education courses. The least we could do as students in a gen ed course is to be mentally present and listen for at least 50 minutes, even if it’s a subject that might not be our favorite. In fact, it is important for us in college (and in life) to be open to other schools of thought in order to be more well rounded individuals. It is a privilege for us to even be enrolled in higher education, so we might as well take advantage of all the knowledge it has to offer.
