Questions

1. What connections have you had from what you’ve studied in this LW course with

what you’ve learned from other courses you have taken at SLCC or have learned

before taking this class? Make specific references to your work in this class and in

other courses. How did what you learned in other courses enhance what you learned

here, and vice versa?

2. Reflect on what you thought about fitness and lifelong wellness before you took this

course and how you think about it now that you have completed the course. Have any

of your assumptions or understandings changed? Why? What

assignments/activities/readings were influential in this process? How will you

approach what influenced you differently in the future?

Answers

1. In this class and other health classes I have taken have taught me how to deal with my

stress. In this class we were taught to handle stress by watching videos with certain

techniques we could do, and in a sports psychology class I took we were taught to

handle stress by doing different activities in class like meditation. By taking sports

psychology it helped me learn other methods of ways to release stress and change my

mind set, this enhanced what I learned in this class by learning different techniques

that there are when coping with stress and being able to learn and re learn more about

it.
2. When I decided to take hiking, I was excited because I love being outside and going

on hikes. I thought that this class was going to be easy hikes and I was wrong. Now

that I have completed this course it makes me want to go on more hikes and not just

in the summer. I am happy I was wrong for thinking that the hikes were going to be

easy because the harder hikes are way more rewarding. An assignment that we did

that was influential was one of our discussions we did, it helped me realize that I

needed to be drinking more water than I am. After that assignment I have been

drinking more water every day and I plan on going forward with it.
