Descartes offers up “I think therefore I am” in First Meditations on Philosophy (Descartes, 1641), which has it’s fair share of problems but one wishes to use this quote to illustrate that while Descartes only proved that ‘I’ exist within one 's own mind, there is nothing to say that this must extend to others too. Or even to anyone but Descartes and Myself. And while that may seem…

Teaching explicit learning strategies to students and using these strategies universally in the classroom are so very important to ensure success for all learners. Reflection is aspect of many macrostrategies (Marzano, 2007). As students reflect on their learning, they gain important assessment information about how they perceive the efficacy of their thinking (Costa & identify and…

of the semester. While both my instructor and I agree that the class was one of the most unenthusiastic we had ever been a part of, we are both satisfied that the students earned the grades they received, and that we helped them along their career path.
