Carrie Ann’s 2/23 Class Reflection

Last weeks class gave me new avenues and perspectives on how my research proposal could develop.  I agree with my colleagues that the Believer/Doubter game does help you look at your research question/proposal with a fresh perspective.  Seeing and hearing others viewpoints and questions on what you are basing your research question is of help.  Sometimes you are so close to an idea that you lose sight of areas that can become cloudy and you need someone else to help make ideas a bit more polished and clear.  I am now going over my notes from the “game” and changes are being made to my proposal, hopefully now some grey areas aren’t so cloudy now.

I really enjoyed hearing the summaries of my colleagues’ assigned books. Though I do like the book that Teddy presented, I found more of an impetus to read Jason’s and Acaelie’s books.  The viewpoints of the students that were interviewed in the books that were reviewed by Jason and Acaelie gave us insight into the student mind, and this is where meaningful academic connections are made.  I hope to in the future to read all of the books presented in class since there is so much to learn in the area of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
