From everything that I’ve been reading and from personal experience, a large inhibitor of classroom comfort is the lack of familiarity or the lack of support in class. It sometimes takes a lot for me to speak in class even if I have friends in my class because I’m nervous I might say something irrelevant or incorrect, but when I finally do say some, the occasional head nod, supportive comment, or anything positive helps me open up more. I intend to do this more in class to help pay it forward. I also hope to become closer to everyone in class to make this course a more fun, close, and supportive environment.
