In order for students to get the
maximum benefits out of a class, teachers must teach them how to think
critically. It is important for teachers
to keep in mind, especially when teaching a subject such as theology, that it
is their job to inform students of all beliefs, not just theirs. By incorporating 
and
assignments into the class, students are able to learn much more than they
would if the class was strictly a lecture.
Discussions make it much more interesting and therefore students will
want to learn and take part in the class.
This was certainly the case for me in my senior theology class. I learned so much more about this religion
that I had grown up believing, and was now taught how to 
it.
This theology class also taught me much about myself and forced me to
make decisions about my beliefs by myself.
Perhaps that is what I found so 
. All of my life teachers had taught me what
they believed, and what I ought to believe.
Though I never really questioned what they taught me, I loved how this
class gave me alternative view points.
It forced me to think for myself.
