Final Post #3
I learned a lot of relevant information/skills throughout the course of the semester, which I believe I will be able to take with me and implement into my life far after the course. I think one of the most important concepts I learned form this class was the conflict shouldn’t be feared/ignored. The way we are raised we are taught to avoid conflict, as there is a negative connotation associated with conflict. In any relationship there is bound to be some type of conflict that arises at one point or another. This class has shown that through various methods we can address the issue of conflict and formulate a solution that is mutually beneficial to both parties involved. Conflict is a fact of life and many people aren’t equipped with the necessary communication skills to approach the situation in a respectful manor. As long as both parties involved in a conflict are given the opportunity to state their sides an agreement is sure to be made. The conflict often times lies when an individual feels like their voice isn’t being heard or their being mis fairly represented.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteI too felt that this class is one I would recommend to a friend. It is true that the conflict resolution workshop requires a great deal of time; however, as you stated, this type of work load is to be expected with a 4 unit course. I also agree that the way the instructor mapped out the assignments was easy to understand which was very effective considering this is an online class. As well, she was always available to answer any questions we came across during the course of the semester. I believe these combined elements made for a great class and one that I am happy I enrolled in and would recommend to anyone looking for a well structured online course.
