Action Most Affirming/Helpful:
One action that I found particularly affirming was when my professor allowed us to personalize our projects by allowing us to choose topics that we were interested in exploring further. This opened up avenues for creativity which made doing the project more engaging and rewarding as opposed to just following a set rubric without any room for personalization or exploration outside of basic requirements laid out by the professor.

Action Most Puzzling/Confusing:
One action that I found confusing was when a classmate suggested using certain methods or processes during group work even though they weren’t encouraged by our professor, such as making decisions without consulting others or taking on too much responsibility within a group project without delegating tasks appropriately. I could tell this caused frustration among other members because it affected their ability to contribute meaningfully, but there didn’t seem to be any clear way handle this situation since it wasn’t addressed directly by our teacher at any point during class time.

Surprising Moment:
What surprised me most about this course is how well students got along despite having vastly different backgrounds and life experiences than each other. Even though there were moments where disagreement occurred, everyone still managed to remain respectful towards each other’s ideas while also acknowledging everyone’s contributions equally regardless of differences they may have had between them otherwise. This showed me that if you open yourself up enough and make an effort, then you can learn from anyone no matter who they are or where they come from – something I will always remember going forward into future classes & endeavors!

Enhance Learning:
As a result of this course, I decided to take on independent study projects related to topics discussed in class so that I can build upon my knowledge and explore areas not covered through lectures alone. Additionally, I joined online forums dedicated specifically related topics so that I can connect with others who are also interested in similar subjects and exchange ideas through discussion boards & resources provided online – something which has been extremely helpful thus far!

Course Changes Recommendations: In light of best practices, continuous improvement, lessons learned in this course – one change recommendation would be increasing student involvement via small-group discussions about key concepts throughout each semester rather than only relying solely on lecture-based instruction methods due its limited ability for promoting higher level thinking skills (such as analysis). Furthermore providing optional readings & podcasts prior or after sessions may help supplement classroom discussions which would allow students opportunities for deeper understanding & engagement (Berka et al., 2007). Additionally incorporating interactive activities like simulations or case studies might help reinforce content covered earlier thus helping students recall information better over long periods (Gerlach et al., 2018).
