Course Review

Este post lo haré en español para que sea mas fácil expresarme.

Yo pienso que este método de aprendizaje no es fácil para todos, en especial a mi me ayudo mucho para mejorar aspectos de mi vida como por ejemplo la responsabilidad de subir los post sin tener algún calificación o una fecha de entrega. En este curso aprendí dese hacer un “Hello world” hasta poder hacer un producto punto entre vectores o contar en numero de palabras que contiene un texto independiente. El método de tener la clase me dejaba hacer trabajos en su clase y ponerme al corriente en mi casa sin problemas. Le doy las gracias a Ken por ayudarme y enseñarme este método de clases “Tec21”

Flipped Learning #WSQ04

When I heard my professor say that we are going to use a new style of learning I thought it would be as other friends that already took this course told me. But no, this time Ken Bauer decided to apply his new study method. Now everyone was “Free”, not exactly free because we still need a grade for the Institution.

With this new study method that Ken Bauer is using I learned everything I needed to learn and more relaxed than ever.

Everytime I have this class I come to the classroom and feel as I actually need to be. This class was the only one in which I felt this. I learned at my own rate, and I finished every work in time and well done.

This image is what I was supposed to feel every Tuesday and Friday, but with this new learning experience I felt the opposite.

In my experience in this first part of the Semester with this type of learning I lived a completely new school sensation. This should be used in every class, in every school. Believe me, there’s nothing better than not having to worry in delivering projects in a small period of time and in top of that a ridiculous grade for your pesonal effort. I was actually learning at my own rhythm and not coming to a borring class in which I need to follow at everytime the professor while taking forced notes.

#FlippedLearning #AbolishGrades is the best class experience a college student can have.

WSQ04 “Flipped Learning”

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

This was a famous phrase that, according to the internet but not confirmed, was said by Albert Einstein.

This course with Professor Ken Bauer is a ‘Prototype course’ for #AbolishGrades. What does this means? This means that instead of the classic education system where one either ace an exam or fail it in order to judge one’s intelligence one must show what they truly learned at the course. This will be written by using as a source the lecture “An A+ student regrets his grades” from Afraj Gill.

Lets be real. This may be more common between the ‘millennials’ since they are all around social media over the networks. Is a common meme when one experencies forgeting what one learned trough a year or semester of school. Think about it. Do you remember most of what you answered at last semester’s exam? It could be like that Men In Black movie where one forgets instantly what they just learned.

Secondly, have you ever asked what an entrepreneur’s scores where? Of course not! Because that does not matters anymore when one sees how far they have gone. Einstein dropped school for example. Scores are nothing but just numbers to label one, yet it does not define one’s true knowledge.

Now, let’s discuss the experience at Ken Bauer’s class specifically.

As one may recall, the writter of this blog is a begginer at coding. That means that he barely knows what he is doing and how he is going to do it. The expectations for this class were high form him. Because he was expecting a classic educational system so he was sort of afraid

Flipped learning

Este blog lo voy a escribir en español. Yo creo que “Flipped Learning” es una manera moderna que exige a los estudiantes estudiar por nuestra cuenta, de alguna manera puede ser una arma de doble filo, si a un estudiante lo pones a trabajar por si solo y sin calificación, este puede que trabaje normal como lo debería de hacer o simplemente no haga nada. Este tipo de aprendizaje demanda una gran responsabilidad.
