Hello everyone!<\/p>\n

So I am done with my first semester at el Tec, now it\u2019s just finals! WOW, I can\u2019t believe it went by so quickly!!!<\/p>\n

Anyway, one of my favorite classes this semester was fundamentals of programming TC101 with To Ken Bauer, so here\u2019s a short review of the course:<\/p>\n

I remember our first day, when Ken made us stand on our desks and yell \u2018it\u2019s okay to fail\u2019 and told us all about his abolish grading policy and his flipped learning classroom style. It was all sooo new to me!!! I think this learning concept is very different from other teachers\u2019 methods. Consequently, it has its pro\u2019s and con\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Everyone learns at a different pace, however, most classes make learning homogenous and don\u2019t encourage individuality, so people feel like they\u2019re always ahead or always behind. This style lets you progress at your very own pace and way. It offers flexibility, and it encourages learning for the sake of learning, not for the sake of earning a grade or accomplishing a homework. Another thing I loved is that it discourages grading, which is like the ultimate individuality destroyer, because every person is different, so you cannot compare them, especially not with such a simplistic method. It makes me so mad that schools do this. It\u2019s simple really, you just can\u2019t compare apples and oranges. Period.<\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s also disadvantages to this kind of learning. Even though the freedom it gives you to learn\/study can help you grow and discover what works for you, it can also let you not work at all. If you have enough discipline, you can make yourself learn, ask for help and learn from others. Ken is always willing to help and so are your classmates. However, if you don\u2019t, you can end up leaving

\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div> till last minute and learn pretty much nothing. You have to push and discipline yourself. This is very challenging, but it\u2019s good practice because out in the real world you are going to face this same challenge.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s really up to you how you take advantage of Ken\u2019s class. You are the only one responsible for your learning progress, no one is going to be after you, constantly telling you what to do. Personally, I learned a lot in this class, about myself and about programming, and I loved that we helped each other learn as a group. However, at times I did feel lost and confused regarding the class material. Like I said, pros and cons. If you\u2019re up for the challenge, I would definitely recommend this class.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much to Ken and to all my classmates for this awesome experience. I learned so much from all of you.<\/p>\n
