update on class pt 4
hi there, i have a]n update on my class, it's the turn of my IS 101, class, when i first read the course compnents of the class, i didnt really understand what it was about, and the first few weeks didnt help much, i was still figuring out why i was taking the class, but now its all falling into place, it makes more sense now. i like the discussions we have in class, and just listenning to other people's view about certain topics.This class has made me rethink why i'm actually in school, and its not the everyday "i want to gain knowledge" answer, but why i really came to school. It has interestingly made me think about how to influence the teaching skills back home in my own small way, especially after i read the chapter about the different teaching skills adopted by professors to teach their students(which is my fav. in the whole IS reader), but i like how it has instilled that mentality of initiating change in our society. I'm still not very sure of the reason why i have to take the class, but i think i like what i've obtained from it so far. :)

Ah, the joys of a liberal arts education. :-)
ReplyDeleteIS 101 is the incarnation of an old curriculum that was made up of 2 classes - one dealing with humanities and the other with social science. they put them together and came up with IS 101. As part of the old curriculum that dealt more with classics, I think more "knowledge" was given in those classes, but hopefully more "street smarts" are given in ours.
