First of all, Dr. Christian is a remarkable individual. He is able to be an outdoors person as well as an accomplished academic, which can be very challenging to combine. To explain, the paper work and research requirements can be too much to handle at times, and knowing that he is able to mountain bike and work out regularly made me sincerely appreciate his rich, well-rounded character. As a teacher at any university, one bears the responsibility of guidance for sytudents who are just out of adolescence. Some of these students look up to a teacher and think very highly of what they have to say. Thus, I keep in mind to try and accomodate any student who asks for my help in any time and in any way. This leads to an extra level of trust and companionship to the teacher-student relationship. What Dr. Christian presented was activities on how to become a social council for students of all ages, and I am going to apply some of these techniques he shared with us to my class.

This was such a refreshing session. I really enjoyed the presence around young teachers and children of different ages. For example, the teachers gave as much attention to physical activity and helping the young boys and girls strecth and walk around just as much as they were focused on their assessment.

The first time I entered the auditorium, I liked the acoustics very much. It felt like entering a very well adjusted theater stage. Then, when we got to listen Dr. Todd smith, it was a real treat. His style of teaching was very engaging and also he has such a grabbing charisma that he was able to use in a way to grab our attention even more. It was very very entertaining more than just informative how he explained to us the different faults in the idea of ultimate freedom and the numerous prices that come with it as people give up order and discipline. Moreover, I am very happy now that I know more about the American political system, becuase it always seemed so unexplainable. Finally, I really hope to attend another session of Professor Todd Smith's any time soon.
