This class was tough.
Course Overview:
This course provided me with great insight in analyzing counter arguments and perspectives. My teacher taught us the importance of playing 'devil's advocate' to enhance our arguments when debating controversial issues regarding education like: sports/athletes and crimes, social media and school intervention, the incorporation of students and parents in evaluation processes, and censorship. The course changed my way of thinking to become more empathetic and acknowledge other people's sides of the story, which will only help me throughout life.
Course highlights:
During our mental illness unit, I worked with two other students to devise a lesson plan to teach in front of the class and a bulletin board slot to acknowledge the stigma and offer prevention from the book we read on schizophrenia. My group and I, exposed media portrayal of those suffering from schizophrenia along with common misconceptions from the public. Mental illness still remains a taboo topic and needs to be communicated so those suffering feel safe and not ostracized by society.
Hours per week:
9-11 hours
Advice for students:
I would advise to take advantage of any extra help opportunities such as writing conferences or meetings to improve essays. It is crucial to complete homework on time thoroughly. Be concise with time management but take the time to start essays early and continue to work on them each day to relieve stress from procrastination.
