Occasionally in this class, we would also have a discussion day, during which we were given the time and opportunity to ask any questions regarding any topic. With about thirty seats crammed into the narrow room, only allowing for three to four seats in each row, these discussions seemed intimate, despite our large class. Being so close together, forced us to to each other and to pay attention. Often times, these discussions could turn into pretty heated debates. Topics varied from theological discussions, to whether our country should go to war, to whether Christians should attend secular schools. Although it didn’t always directly relate to our course material, I feel that these discussions were extremely beneficial. It again allowed us all to hear each other’s perspectives and to hear the perspective of our teacher. The of these discussions were equal to, if not greater than, those of group work. Some of the most interesting classes were those when students disagreed with the teacher’s point of view- then the discussion could go on for days. Although I would occasionally get frustrated through these debates, looking back I see that our teacher had multiple reasons for handling the class the way he did. Aside from learning from what each other had to say, we were also learning how to express our own opinions and more importantly how to back them up. He was us not only for the future of this class, but for the future of our lives. To page 7
