Personal Concerns and Next Steps

It is always difficult to transition from one form of learning to another. I feel that in this class, we are doing the opposite of what we've done for so long and it's difficult to get the proper mindset to make the change in thinking. My concern is that I'm not fully connecting the material we learn in class. I get the main points and how we get solutions, but sometimes I can't quite correlate how those steps come together in the end. I think that it is great that this class is based upon us working to find our answers rather than doing things from the book, but it will just take time for me to switch gears, and I'm afraid that it will take too much time, and I'll miss out on important information. It's just not quite comfortable learning for me yet, but it will get better!
I think the next step with this concern is just to work a little harder, participate a little more in class, and seek help if I feel I don't understand. If I put more effort into the activities, I'm hoping the connections in material just present themselves! I'm confident that I will overcome these issues, it just may take time.
