New Insights and Their Implications

I was fully prepared to struggle with the concepts and the processes of this class, but I have found this new style of teaching much more difficult to understand than I originally had thought. I realize how important it is for students to make connections between concepts that they are learning. In contrast, I feel that through my education, I have lacked gaining these connections, which makes them that much harder to teach them. I do value the knowledge that we are gaining by learning how to make these connections, but it seems as if there is too much to teach and too little time. I hope that I learn enough about the subject so that, when it comes time for me to teach, I am able to take what I have learned and apply it in new contexts.
