I'm taking an online course on Serving the Diverse Community During Disaster. It's a great class, as all my classes in disaster mental health have been. However, these are the thoughts that keep going through my mind:
- This class is only five weeks long! How am I going to get all this done in such a short time?
- I hate group projects.
- I have 150 pages to read each week!
This is what I put my students through (except they probably only read half as much in a week). These things are necessary for learning, and the pace is necessary for a summer class. So when I'm teaching, I have to incorporate lots of reading, group projects, and all those assignments.
But when I'm a student, I see it from the students' point of view, and I have to remind myself all is wise and necessary.
