I feel as thought I could have put a lot more time and effort in the course in

question. Truth of the matter is I slacked on reading, more skimming through to find

main points than really internalizing the information. If I were to take the course again I

would make the adjustment to allow myself more time to read and understand what I

was reading. Prepare questions for the next class session because I can even think of

questions now I wish I had asked. I would also ask for more demonstration to be done,

both by the instructor and to be assigned to us. While yes more work is never fun, it is

something I can tell would have been a great benefit if the course was to be done over.

Most importantly I would go into the course with an open mind rather than a closed off

one. Hearing I had a secondary Spanish course had me shaking in my boots and I

entered with the idea that I was not capable of teaching a Spanish class so I would not

teach it do I will not give my all to the course. While I still do not think I am funny

prepared to teach the language, I am more at least able to stand on my feet and be

confident that If put in the position I will be able to manage and do a fair job at education

students about the Spanish Language.

My strengths in this class were the same as any other for me, I am fast to

understand content and concepts from simple context clues which helped in discussion.

This was a skill which I feel also helped me to understand the different teaching

methods which were foreign to me and being able to visualize myself in the position to

teach making the ideas more comprehendible for me. While I did not have much

strengths in this course, rather I feel as if I had disadvantages stacked against me I feel

as thought I was able to show what I learned thought my decent presentation skills for

our last microteaching. I think I could have done much better in this course knowing

what I do now and while I know I will pass the class, I do not feel proud of it nor myself.

Given the opportunity I would want nothing more than to continue to immerse myself in

the language so I can then appreciate it, because If you cannot appreciate what you are

teaching there will be nothing you can give your students.
