I feel it is very important to examine the steps to problem solve and follow them accordingly. I notice with my students that they want to skip steps and still try to achieve the end result.

Problem Solving

In regards to my students, problem solving for them equates with survival. At times, they cannot see the difference and have difficulty grasping that they actually can work through solutions.

I have a student population in which the majority of students do carry this sense of entitlement. Sometimes, it can be challenging to work with but definitely rewarding when you see that student come around.

Criticial Thinking and Sociology

I am currently teaching a Sociology class with 40 students. It is amazing to see those students use analytical skills and discover that they can indeed embark on the entire process of critical thinking. This is a real self-esteem enhancer.

Seperation of duties

While seperation of duties is a wonderful way to have checks and balances, it can be stressful at times. Although, I am all for it because I believe it helps to keep a protection of employees active.

Advertising is a wonderful way to reach students as long as we present a picture of appropriate expectations and reachable goals.

Social Media

It would appear that social media has much influence over the expectations placed upon inquisitive students. We need a better way to introduce expectations before arrival onto the campus.
