Week Five- Course Reflections & Moving Forward

Being that this is a summer course, our workload is doubly compacted into one class. Our fifth class finally gave us a time to reflect on what we had learned, where we are at now and preparing to move forward to complete the course. I think this was much needed since there was so many different elements to the class (speakers, computer work, readings, EI Evals) that we needed a time to examine and tie everything together. With all these different things going on it is easy to lose focus on the main purpose of the class. For me, I felt like we were utilizing alot of different material but not really going in depth with it. But as one of the classmates pointed out, it was good to have many different learning tools since everyone may have different learning styles, especially for adults who may have not been in school for a while or foreigners who are trying to adapt to the English language.
