As a computer science major, I’ve experienced both synchronous and asynchronous learning formats and I think that each has its distinct advantages and drawbacks. Synchronous learning, like live Zoom lectures or in-person classes, mimics traditional education with real-time interactions which entails professors demo coding in Python or debug algorithms on the spot eliciting immediate Q&A…
I completely resonate with your perspective on project-based learning as it mirrors my own experiences in fostering deeper, adaptable skills. In traditional education, problems often come with predefined answers which limits creativity and real-world applicability, but project-based learning immerses learners in authentic scenarios such as developing a sustainable app prototype or organizing a community event….
I totally agree with you on the learning outcomes. They were a big help in my tough classes too, like math or computer science. At first, they felt unnecessary too, but now I see them as a roadmap. They show exactly what to focus on, making study time smarter. Like you said, they’re great checklists…
There is this statement that has been around for so long and is incessantly perpetuated by everyone that once you are past a certain age, you cannot take on difficult things and achieve a certain mastery in them. While it certainly becomes more challenging to take on difficult skillsets as we grow older, it is…
