I think that the SED and EDU classes that I took this semester were really great classes to take. I enjoyed attending both of these classes because they both pertained to my major and I have a very strong interest in everything that we learned about in terms of the special education information that I learned in the first half of the semester, in addition to the regular, general education information that I learned in this last half of the semester. These classes have both taught me many things, not only about those topics in general, but I also learned a lot about this university. I had always heard about how devoted this university is to providing an above-average education to its students and turning its students into devoted, well-educated teachers. The SED and EDU classes this semester were the first things that have proven and shown me that the university’s devotion that I have heard so much about is very true.

In the SED 125 class that I took for the first half of the semester, I learned a lot about different special education disabilities and special education students that I didn’t know before. I was very glad that the class focused on the different kinds of things we should expect if we have a special education student in one of our classes one day. I learned what I should do in certain situations and I learned some very specific dispositions that some children with certain disabilities may have. I found this to be very helpful and affective because if I had just learned about the disabilities and not about how to deal with the symptoms of them, I fell as though I wouldn’t have learned anything that could be useful to me in the future, but I did learn many things in that class that I feel will be very useful to me when I become a teacher someday.

In the EDU 125 class, we learned a lot about the history of education and the impact that certain events have had one the way that education is today. I found all of this information very interesting and I was glad to learn about the different ways that past events have shaped education over many years. Another topic that we learned about in EDU that I found to be very interesting was the different philosophies of education. I thought that learning about this was very useful because I was able to differentiate between the philosophies and decide which one I agreed with and which one I disagreed with. This helped me to start to think about how I will want to conduct class when I become a teacher and also how I will want to teach my students.

I believe that another very important part of both SED and EDU were the professors that taught the classes. Both of them have very good senses of humor which helps to create a very relaxed, informal atmosphere in the classroom. Both are very nice and all around great people and, in my opinion, they taught all of the material very well. Overall, being in both of these classes has been a wonderful experience for me in many ways and I have enjoyed it very much.
