I am very comfortable in the classroom setting. I have always been one to participate and volunteer to go first in any presentation. In order for me to be completely comfortable in the classroom I look for the following aspects: 1. Equality -The opportunity for everyone to participate, not just focusing entirely on one person. 2. Control - I like for a teacher to have control and redirect people who drift away from the subject to give their own personal dissertation of life. 3. Sticking to the subject at hand - I enjoying conversing just like anyone else, but since time is valuable when I come in to learn about a subject I like to stay in content and limit tangents so I feel I got the most out of the session at hand.
As a student I believe I am an active learner. I keep up with my work and tend to complete tasks immediately. Timeliness is a quality that I prefer in people because I place a high value on my time and other's time. As within my classroom, I find those who aren't prepared have little to offer besides trying to pull others of task. I am extremely focused and am someone who gladly takes the opinion of others into consideration and will rework projects and assignments until they exceed expectations. If I don't understand something I research it until I do. I have no problem asking for clarification because I like to know exactly what is expected of my performance. I enjoy helping others because I feel their insight can often help me see things from a different aspect, all adding to my own knowledge.
