COURSE CONTENT/VIEW OF LEARNING

MY IDEAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WOULD:

1. Emphasize basic facts and definitions.

2. Focus more on having the right answers than on discussing methods or how to solve problems.

3. Insure that I get all the course knowledge from the professor.

4. Provide me with an opportunity to learn methods and solve problems.

5. Allow me a chance to think and reason, applying facts to support my opinions.

6. Emphasize learning simply for the sake of learning or gaining new expertise.

7. Let me decide for myself whether issues discussed in class are right or wrong, based on my own interpretations and ideas.

8. Stress the practical applications of the material.

9. Focus on the socio-psycho, cultural and historical implications and ramifications of the subject matter.

10. Serve primarily as a catalyst for research and learning on my own, integrating the knowledge gained into my thinking.

11. Stress learning and thinking on my own, not being spoonfed learning by the instructor.

12. Provide me with appropriate learning situations for thinking about and seeking personal truths.

13. Emphasize a good positive relationship among the students and between the students and teacher.
