One of the points that Salloui suggested really stood out to me. He said something along the lines of… if you want to resolve a problem, you shouldn’t wait until tomorrow or the next day, it should get done now. Then Mr. Carpenter clarified it and said that if you wait too long then the problem might never get done, or it may be forgotten about…you could lose your motivation. Chadine also came up with some interesting points that were creative and unique. Sarah and Yasmine A. also had some interesting input in multiple situations.
At one point, our discussion started to transform into a debate when we were deciding whether to fix a problem deliberately or quickly. The group effectively resolved that by stating their opinion and explaining it in farther detail so that the rest of the group could see where they got that idea from and explained their logic. A couple people did dominate the conversation, but Mr. Carpenter resolved this by giving other people a chance to voice their input. There was concrete evidence that people were engaged and building off of their classmates ideas because they were taking notes or giving them their undivided attention. They built off of their classmates ideas by becoming motivated and intrigued in the topic.
My ideas of the essential questions have changed somewhat because I have listened to other people’s ideas and noticed the logic behind it which has broadened my understanding and opinion in a more creative aspect. None of my ideas have necessarily changed, but they have been improved. The best part of the seminar was getting to hear other ideas that I hadn’t necessarily thought of in that creative sense.
