What I liked most and would
consider a strength about this class was the workshop. I felt that this assignment
made us apply the concepts that we learned from the book, but also teaching
these concepts to a specific group of people helped us further understand the
theories. Another strength about this class, is that by constantly have
discussion on what we have learned helped me fully understand the material, and
I was also able to apply the material to my life. Furthermore, I also really
enjoyed the conflict assessment paper. For this paper, we needed to record any
conflict that occurred. I felt that this helped me realize what my strength and
weakness are when it comes to dealing with conflict. This awareness helped me
manage conflict better.

I would have to agree with you in that the conflict assessment paper was very helpful for me as well. When I first began the project it seemed like a very daunting assignment I was intimidated by the idea of recording all of my conflicts with others, and also trying to analyze them. I was actually surprised to find how easily these conflicts fit right into any of the concepts that our book presented and I really feel that I was able to learn a lot about many of my own interpersonal relationships. This class also gave me a very different perspective on conflict as well, and I would also recommend this class to others.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you. The materials and work applied to this class were so helpful in everyday life. I feel as though we are walking away with a better view of conflict and a new and improved way of how to deal with it in our personal lives. I think that is so important. It is rare to find classes where you can walk away retaining information and being better because of it. I firmly believe a class like this should be taken by married couples, as well as per-marital couples. :)
