This is in response to Aesun Kim's last blog.
Aesun first of all I think that it is great that you can talk about how you feel about discussions and the intimidation that you sometimes feel in your classes. It shows your human side and strength in just sharing your feelings. I can empathize with how you feel. There have been times in my life when other people have made me feel intimidated during a discussion as well. It's a comfort zone kind of thing for me. I have written down phrases and sometimes sentences during discussions to keep myself on track and not lose myself. I find that this happens when my confidence level goes down. I would love to hear what you have to say even if it is on the fence on certain issues because I'm sure that there are others that may feel similar to what you have to say.
The other thing that I wanted to say was that you discuss the style of teaching that Mr. Lovas is using. I think his purpose is to help us get ready for the next stage in our academic lives in a University. I think he's trying to help us in the transition and get us ready for what is to come. At the University our hands are not being held meaning that we are not told how to do things we just do them. It's a learning process and in transfering it could and can be a shock in getting into that kind of environment . I think Lovas is trying to lessen that shock.
