Reflection

I believe that the Socratic seminars went extremely well. The class handled the discussions maturely and a vast majority of the class participated daily. This process taught us how to think for ourselves and not rely on the teacher to lead the discussion. It forced us to ask ourselves the questions instead of the teacher taking the class in his direction. We were able to say everything we wanted to because we determined when it was time to move to the next topic. I realized how it can somtimes be difficult for teacher to engage the whole class in discussions. Though this was a relatively easy topic to come up with things to talk about, at times it could be hard to grasp the attention of the entire class and get them into the conversation. As for my grade on this I believe I did well. In consideration with my participation, preparation, attitude, open-mindness, facilitation, and effort I think I deserve an A.
