Chp. 16, Discussion 2

I liked learning the new information from our textbook, and reflecting on it through discussion. I think this is a good way to make sure that we retain and understand the lessons, and it is an interesting process. I enjoyed reading other students’ opinions and stories because it gave me multiple perspectives on the topics that I had not previously considered. Also, it was a good way for us to connect as a class since we are based online and do not get to interact much to begin with. There weren’t many weaknesses that I could think of, but, if I had to pick one, I’d say that it would be putting a twelve-hour time limit between the posts. I understand that this is to make sure that we take the proper amount of time and consideration on the posts and that we don’t hog the discussion from other students, but it was difficult to make sure to follow the limit with other obligations and homework assignments. I would suggest making the time window a little bit shorter to keep the posts spaced apart, but easier to manage. I would definitely suggest this class to other students. The class was well organized and easy to follow. I have learned many valuable tools to manage conflict through this course, and I believe that everyone can benefit from this information.
