Catch Your Dreams
I thought the Catch Your Dreams Exercise we did in class was really pointless and I felt like I was in elementary school again. I think we are all old enough to know the difference between a dream and a goal and whether are goals are attainable or not. I feel our time could be used much more productively in discussion or lecture. If the teaching team still believes it is a good idea and a useful experience instead of just busy work, I think it would be a better experience if it was done as homework, outside of class in our own time. I personally got nothing out of the exercise and felt like I was wasting my time that could have been put to better use doing something else.

I can see how some you would think it was pointless. If you already have your goals mapped out, then there was no point to it. However, it was beneficial for me because I think the point of it was to pick and choose which ones could be turned into achievable goals for the paper. I know I wouldn't be able to come up with the learning plan goals if I didn't do this exercise. I probably would have put some random thing down that didn't mean anything to me.
