that the teacher holds both the power and the knowledge while the student is left to simply absorb the knowledge without giving any further thought to it. The student does not have the chance to critically think about or even question what they are learning. With this concept, the student simply accepts what the teacher says as the whole and only truth. It is up to the student to take this information and remember it as it is all they will need to know. Problem posing education on the other hand…

we really see the world and the ways in which we see privilege. In White Like Me, he mentioned that he saw how the teachers were treating black people differently and this made him mad. He tried to stand up for social justice and inequality while learning to see his own privilege. Privilege is ‘the rights and protections enjoyed by some while the rights and protections are denied to others’; this is what privilege means to me. Privilege means that I am going to walk with my white friends in…

Taking this class and learning about Shakerism proved to be one of the most rewarding experiences this year. Not only did it teach me about the people in my community, it taught me lessons about myself. Seeing this different lifestyle made me reflect on my own and I am grateful for that. These and many others reasons is why I am grateful for the opportunity to study at Shaker village. On the first day at the village, I expected the shakers to be very formal and serious. My predictions were…

It is almost bewildering to think that my time as an undergraduate is coming to a close; compiling all the tremendous things I have accomplished, it is almost impossible to relate the experience to anything but a rollercoaster with its breathtaking highs and terrifying lows. During the ride, I have spent a great deal of my time striving to not only better myself but also the lives of others I was blessed enough to meet. I have felt on top of the world through experiences, including a mission…

Today’s society is full of caregivers for children who are eager to teach and pass down morals and values. The students of today are not only being taught these morals from parents, teachers, and peers but also the novels they read.

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige is worthy of being included into the ENG2D course because of the novel's values and themes…

My student account also allows me to stay connected to other students from my class. I can contact them in case I miss class and I need…

On the day of the Socratic seminar, I was a bundle of nerves, extremely stressed out about how I will perform during the seminar. However, my nervousness slowly disappeared as we conducted the seminar, allowing me to participate more as I realized that the Socratic seminar wasn’t as difficult as I believed it to be. At the end of the seminar, I felt that everyone in my group performed very well, picking up new skills as a result. As I reflect on the discussion that transpired that day, I also…
