If I became a teacher, I would try to create different opportunities for students to show their
understanding of the material. Not every student learns or communicates knowledge in the
same way, so I would not only rely on tests or essays. I would also include discussions,
presentations, creative projects, and other activities that allow students to explain their
thinking. I think giving students different ways to express their knowledge helps them feel
more comfortable and confident in the classroom. It also helps teachers see how students are
understanding the material from different perspectives. This class helped me realize that
knowledge can come from different sources like experience, imagination, and discussion, so
it makes sense to allow students to demonstrate their understanding in different ways.
The assignments and activities in this class worked well for me overall. One thing I liked was
that we had many different activities throughout the quarter instead of only lectures. The
games we played in class made the concepts easier to understand and made the class more
engaging. For example, the cheese activity and the puzzle game were memorable and helped
connect the ideas from the readings to real examples. I also liked the final game project. I
think it was a really good idea because while creating the game we had to go back to each
module and review the material again. In a way, we were unintentionally reading and
thinking about the earlier topics again, which helped reinforce what we learned. Overall, I
think the class is great the way it is and I would not suggest cutting or changing anything.
