As a student, one is never expected to question the system of learning or to echo any sentiments which might be out of the ordinary. Apparently, in an environment where students are being taught autonomy, it is considered a crime or behavior outside the norm to consider anything out of the ordinary. While in class, some teachers seem to encourage us to express ourselves freely while others are highly critical of us when we showcase any aggressiveness. As a child, one longs for school and for me crying was my way of letting those around me that I wanted to join my older siblings. I pictured the freedom I would have and the many questions I would ask my teachers the moment I set foot in class. My mind was filled with a myriad of ideas and curios statements and questions which seemed relevant at the time. These ideas and questions made life interesting for me because they were original and I felt entitled to them. Given the opportunity, I felt like I would also educate my teachers and share with them all the wild ideas I had no matter how silly. One way or the other I knew my world was different and that I had something to contribute. However, when finally my wish was granted, and I was taken to school, I realized that education is not as I thought it would be and that my ideas and thoughts were better left and locked in my brain. While my idea of school was never tainted, my reality of the same was altered mainly because I found it restrictive or obstructive instead of empowering.

While I like how he delivers the message, so far, I have failed to develop a strong opinion about this class. First of all, the class meetings are not boring, and this is not to say they are interactive but that the professor commands a listenership that only a few can conjure. Everyone wants to be seated before he enters the room and any interruptions are often met with jeers. However, while we do make use of discussions and group-works, most of the time these have become a platform to marvel at the professor’s delivery. In class, the professor tries as much as he can to involve us by asking questions and making sure we are taking part. From time to time, we have seen glimpses of the professor’s anger or discontent when he is questioned or when challenged by students. While there are no outside activities which are associated with this class, the professor is always willing to be a part of any activities we have as a class.
When it comes to assignments or assessments in class, we have the conventional homework which can be a task in reading or researching something. We also have written assignments which can range from reflection essays to response essays where we are expected to comment or offer our sentiments on certain issues. Other times we are also given the opportunity to present or argue out our perceptions in front of the class. While I would not and h...
