Class Led Discussions

        On Tuesday, two groups held the floor for a group discussion. One group's topic was healthy relationships, and the other group's topic was personality types. Both groups did a very good job getting the class participating and active in the class discussion. Here is a little bit about my opinion on how each group did on Tuesday.
         I thought the topic healthy relationships was a great topic to pick. It was something everyone could relate to, everyone had an opinion, and everyone cared about. The presenting group had the class split up into groups according to the color everyone picked. Each group was presented with two different scenarios which a person could be confronted with at some point. I thought this was a good exercise because it was purposeful yet it was something we all enjoyed and laughed about. I thought that even though the presentation was a fun one, I still learnt information about what if situations in a relationship.
          The other group that presented on Tuesday was a group that made a class discussion on personality types. I thought this was also a good topic because people are always interested in learning more about who they are as a person and how their brain functions. The survey the put online was interesting in finding out personality types, and it was interesting to see who had what personality type in class. I also enjoyed the optical illusion they did in class because it was an interesting to have a different way to determine what side brain I am. After I took that test, I confirmed I was left brain. This is not something new to me but it was interesting to see a different way to confirm that; however, I do not think this test worked as well for others, so perhaps it was just luck it was correct.

          Over all, I thought both groups did an awesome job with their presentations. I think by doing these presentations we are coming closer as a class because we are interacting more. I am liking the class led discussions.
