Weekend 3 Day 2

Although I was not at class today I just finished my final exam and it really made me think about several things. I enjoyed the questions about the pros and cons associated with each of the three types of communication. I am a person who is terrible about misinterpreting written communication. I am always worried that someone is mad when in reality they are using sarcasm, or that if their message is brief they must be upset with me, etc. I think this is so easy to do. I will always remember that both body language and written message may be relaying something that is totally the opposite of what you want to the recipient.
I also enjoyed all of the questions having to do with new teacher issues, reasons why teachers leave and stresses on teachers. I am very familiar with the ways that I think and feel, but it is interesting to see the research on the larger scale and see what the majority of teachers feel like. I have really benefitted from this class. I enjoy that after each course I always go back to school and look at things in an entirely different light.
