Classes in general irk something in me and they typically just dont sit right, i have never been 100 percent sure exactly what it was until ELP showed me something different. After ELP i have been able to compare and contrast my classes and see clearly what bugs me about them: their improbability and general abstractness. In philosophy i learn things that i would only use on an ethics board, in math i learn how to do things i will rarely need to be able to do, english helps me right papers but aside from that it is just as bad. the point is that while all these classes are invaluable and teach me things that are crucial for my development and learning: they are rarely applicable.
Thats where ELP comes in, although we do little to no classwork and this is my only homework, i feel as though the learning done in ELP is harder to explain but infinitely easier to apply.
So what have i taken away?
Well, as far as skills and confidence goes, i have taken away a lot, i learned to put myself out there more, trust in my self, believe in others, and generally how to make connections with other people. In honesty, i have a slight bit of trouble listing what i learned from ELP because there was never a theorem or a vocab word, just examples and practice, the way learning should be done in my opinion.
So i learned a lot, it is incredibly hard to accurately articulate what it was but i can feel the change in my day to day life.
Where do i go from here is the next question.
Well, this final project is preparing me for a real world scenario better than anything i have ever done in any class before. I have spent and will continue to spend more time on this project than any other final, by a long shot, but this final will reward me infinitely more in terms of experience and know-how. I believe that the final project is invaluable to applying the learnings of the class and it a perfect stepping stone into the future of using your learning from ELP.
So basically, I had an awesome time and i enjoyed every bit of learning!
Go ELP!
