I didn’t see this part of the asignment last night, so I’m doing it now, but when I heard the prompt in class today, I was able to answer it immediately. I want to learn in this class for my own benefit, not just to do well on a test and get a high grade to buff my gpa. I want to do my homework because I want to, and not because I know I have to, and I want to enjoy doing it. I am very used to being in classes where I skim the boring academic reading for five minutes and then come to class and talk about the few points I read to boost my participation grade, then taking a test that I studied for by reading my notes the night before. I’ve definitely learned from these classes, but the learning doesn’t compare to the stress I’ve had from taking them. My hope for this class is that I learn because I want to learn, and enjoy what I do.
