Improved Essays
I would explain learning to someone who has not taken this class, as taking new information in and applying it to the world around you.

Everyone learns different and you have to find how you learn in order to become a critical learner. This class has changed my views of learning by me thinking learning was just taking in new information and applying it to my assignments, but this class has showed me that learning is much more than that.
