Drawing a Picture from Experience

The method of instruction in this class has been one of the best experiences that I have had thus far in either of the Master's programs that I have been enrolled in. The case studies provide the opportunity to challenge thought and drive discussion among the students. These cases open doors that may be explored in real life situations later down the road. It is very beneficial to be able to discuss these different scenarios and come to conclusions with much input and knowledge from many different resources. One or two people may not have seen the entire picture without this opportunity. However, I think the part of the class that I feel is the most beneficial is Dr. Closen's ability to share a "real-life" situation and tie it to almost every discussion that is conducted in the class. It is so helpful to draw this picture in the minds of students of these events. I will never forget some of those stories and will always have them embedded in my mind for future use. It is very evident that Dr. Closen has been in the educational system for the right reasons and has experienced more than many of us ever will. It is so refreshing to have someone instruct that has actually been there and done that. So many instructors hand out information that was read about in a study or research. The fact that Dr. Closen is very genuine makes the class very interesting, fun, and a great learning experience.
