Explain One Out Of Class Learning
1. Describe one out of class learning experience you've had. What did you learn? What skills did you gain?
During my undergraduate education, I was able to work in the Student Support Services center as a Peer Educator. As a Peer Educator, I learned there is no standard way to support students. Students come from different cultures, backgrounds, and have different needs in-order to be successful academically and personally. This gave me the opportunity to gain skills in developing workshops and social hours to empower students in their academics, but most important give them knowledge in learning how to utilize the resources available to them.
2. What are some examples of out of class learning that are built into our C&G program structure?
And also, what skills can be gained from the co-curricular activities?
One great example would be Dr. Kane’s genogram assignment. The genogram assignment gives us the opportunity to learn how we deal with situations and how our personal beliefs/values will affect how we interact with students. The skill I hope to gain is to self-reflect and understand that students have their own beliefs and values that affect how the perceive success academically and personally.
3. What are some resources that could help student affairs professionals in measuring learning outcomes from out of class learning activities?
One way that student affairs professionals can measure learning outcomes would be through surveys or assessment that directly asks the student to grade their experiences and what they perceive they have learned.
