Metaphysics: Course Analysis

Improved Essays
The thing that meant the most for me was having to think about things in a completely different way than I normally do. The readings and discussion questions in this course challenged my ideas and perspectives and allowed me to push the boundaries on how I currently think of my existence, reality and the universe. Since metaphysics is the study of existence and the foundations of our worldview, this course has helped to broaden my thinking and has given me the ability to understand that there is a deeper meaning to life. This course ultimately gave me the ability to interpret and understand the world and the reality that I live in. What challenged me to stretch my mind in this course was having to question our existence in the universe and

    I would say in part, all the lectures and readings from this course have resonated with my own experience, and have helped me better understand what happened during my interaction. The course material that made a major impact on my experience would have to be Lectures 2, 3, 4, and 5, although all the material did expand my knowledge on health communication and helped me better understand self-health. Some of these main topics within the lectures and readings include the medical model, defining communication,…

    Throughout the semester as a class we have read multiple forms of readings varying in style and meaning. The different types of readings were meant to enrich our minds of knowledge and shape our human experience. After reading some of the forms of literature, such as Walden and Civil Disobedience, A year of Magical Thinking and the Auto Biography of an Ex-Colored Man my mind has expanded to consider different parts of life. I think about the way I live my life and the things I do as a human being. The course as a whole has allowed me to expand my mind, think about different parts of life and nature that I would not pay attention to on a daily basis.…

    The learning experience of Dr. Norward’s course, Generalist Social Welfare Practice, has allowed me to develop my interpersonal skills and feel more confident working with clients. I have faced many challenges and obstacles, but I have also learned a lot about myself as a student as well as a future social worker. This course has helped me to reignite my passion for activism, but also explore the sort of social work I wish to partake in such as becoming a broker for services. One of the biggest takeaways from the course was when I learned that social work should be seen as both a science and art, two areas that I am fascinated about. I also truly cherished the lecture of self care and have incorporated this into my daily life, but also with…

    The realization that every educational experience that a person has, is meant to teach you not only about that specific subject but also about yourself and how to morph to become a better student from each experience. Now three years later I am still able to recall some things about that dreaded geophysical science class, but I was also able to learn how to write my own study guides and take good notes, two skills I have been able to extensively apply to all of my…

    My biggest failure has been failing a certification test that would make or break my Air Force career. Security +, the test, was required to graduate and continue to my next duty assignment. The two week class acted as a bookend of a six month networking school. Meant to be a test of competence and qualification, this class would be much more difficult than what the training program had to offer leading up to the final test. We were taught at breakneck speed.…

    In today’s day and age, the college experience is a topic that is brought up in many conversations, especially with high political figures. From 1985 until 2011, the cost of a college education has increased by nearly 500%, with the consumer price index only increasing by 115% (Maurer, 2013). It does not take a much to understand that a number such as that is unacceptable. The cost of college has skyrocketed out of control, leaving graduating students with thousands of dollars’ worth of debt before they even start their lives on their own. In a way, these colleges and universities are setting these students up for failure rather than giving them a great jumpstart to the rest of their lives.…

    Once our class understood how to think critically, we began driving into social issues like gender, sexuality, race, and more. This course is definitely a course that you get more out of the more you put into it. Since the course is mostly discussion based, if you didn’t read the articles for the day on the particular topic you would be quite lost. There…

    When I first began this class I thought that this would be just another introductory class that is required to orient you to the expectations of the particular college. Now, after completing this class, I know that this is not the case. Personal Dimensions of Learning has been a great help, not only to my school work, but also in my daily life. Before taking this class, I thought that learning, and completing daily tasks, were mostly memorizing the order of the way things are supposed to be done and just completing the task. I never liked this strategy, but it always seemed to be the most convenient way to get things done at school, home, and work.…

    This course has taught me that knowledge is truly power. For example, when you are knowledgeable of the attributes of cultural competence you are more likely to understand their background. Community engagement is extremely important within any community. Through CMST I have learned that community participation is far beyond just volunteering at a homeless shelter once a year or participating in a canned food drive. In order to have a long term effective change you must be consistent and aware of the issues being faced within the…

Although I will always have questions, I know they may never be answered but sometimes questions are more beautiful than answers.
