Class last night

Even though I am not very fond of night classes, especially since I have a long drive, I look forward to classes like last night. I feel it is very important for teachers to get their students involved and let them learn through interaction. I really got a lot of information out of the lecture last night, so thank you.

I really enjoyed all of the group work we did last night. It helps me think further and in more detail about the topics we discuss because I get to hear the viewpoint of other people rather than just myself.

I love the fact that we get to work through things together. I think through our own experiences and telling others it gives each one of us a better understanding of the content knowledge. I hope that we will continue the group work to farther our understandings.

Group work and open discussion is really one of the best ways to learn, because everyone feeds off one another. I'm glad that Mrs. White understands that we learn best with discussion, as opposed to 3 hours of lecture.

I really enjoyed group work in class the other night. I remember things better when I have an activity to relate it to.

I agree with you. I am not much into night classes either, but doing the different activities that we need, makes the class a lot more enjoyable. I also love learning about new things in a way that helps me to remember them and understand them more.

I have to agree with you all, I've never taken a night class but I was told that they are long and boring. I was never bored on Monday night with the activities and group work and I feel like time passed quickly. I really liked interacting with everyone and sharing ideas and stories.

I agree, night classes for me are horrible, but monday night I felt that class went by faster and that I learned something. I thought about things more, and being in a group helped me see other peoples points of view. I enjoyed class, even for a night class.

I agree I have never been one for night classes either. I had a bad experience at Morehead State. I can tell this class will be different, because we do group work all the time. In my other class I about fell asleep every night. I like the fact that we do group work, because these interactions help me to understand the material better.

I must agree with you also. I have a long drive to Richmond and I have 2 children at home, that are never in bed when I get home. But, I have enjoyed the class interaction and I have discovered it has helped understand the subject on hand.

I usually despise night classes and I thought this class wasn't going to be exception. However, after these two classes I think I wont mind the long drive that I have to get there. Thank goodness. I like how there are different components to the class such as lecture, discussion, and group work.
