Ma. Cecilia Ruga 1-BEEDuc The Contemporary World EXPECTATION SETTING May expectations for this class are: Studying contemporary studies and issues are my interests, so I am expecting myself to participate a lot and have fun. Hopefully this subject will enlighten some areas that are not discussed on a daily basis. I expect that the class will be interesting, engaging, and an open learning experience for everyone. I hope to acquire the critical thinking abilities necessary to evaluate and comprehend intricate sociopolitical, economic, and cultural issues. I’d like to hear opinions and facts from the educator and classmates. I believe that you’ll discover a person’s character based on their political opinions. Contemporary World subject is a door for people to know other cultures, news, and norms that will give character or meaning to others. My commitments for the class are: To participate in class activities and discussions, be aware of things that I have little to no knowledge, to learn and to educate others. Learning is a two-way process. To know people based on stimulating conversations, keeping up with current events, and discovering ways to make informed decisions on the topics that shape our contemporary world.
