The Learning Plan: My Final Entry
The last day of class when each person had to tell what they liked the most of the class, many to my surprise said the Learning Plan. I could not believe what I was hearing. I am going to have to agree with my buddy Marc (as we tend to agree a lot), and state that I hated this learning plan. The one part that I can see as useful is the goal setting, but everything else was pointless. How does writing down my values, attributes, and learning styles, then getting criticized on my paper of "who I am" help (It is my life; how does the TA know what is right and wrong in my life!!). I feel this is the most stupid exercise ever. It was a complete waste of time. All we did was repeat over and over again the results of the different tests and exercises we completed. Those exercises were interesting, but this was just too much. The one bright point was like I mentioned, the personal goal setting. This aspect is very useful because to many people who are clueless to the world, it made them actually do some research and get concrete items towards their future. I think that future MGMT 250 classes final paper should take the goals concept and branch on that concept.

Kudos to you Mr. Bucek for saying what we both were thinking. In fact, if you check out my blog, I vented about the stupid thing as well. I tend to think that the people who are "clueless to the world" should have to pay the price for their apathy towards their own future. There won't always be someone there to hold your hand. Life is hard. Get over it and take care of yourself; nobody else will.

I'm curious, Robert. If you don't set your goals based on your personal values, what criteria do you use to set them?
