Instead of reflecting on this week's class, I'd like to focus more on the class as a whole and what I can take away from this seminar. Coming into this class, I had a very narrow mindset when it came to solving problems. I approached problems thinking that there would only be one way to get a solution, and typically this way involved some sort of mathematical equation or idea.
As I went through this class, I began to see that there are many ways of looking at and solving problems. I think a lot of what creativity is is a measure of how well you can look at things from different perspective. Looking back on this seminar, I can say that my creativity has increased greatly. I know I still have a lot of work to do, but I think I now have the tools and strategies I need to improve how I approach problems. I used to set myself up for failure when I approached a problem the wrong way, but now I will be more conscientious of changing my outlook so I can come up with a solution.
I now have all the Honors seminars done that I needed to complete. Although I enjoyed my other two as well, I have to say this has been the best of the 3!
At the beginning the class I also thought that problem solving was really on good with numbers, but it turns out, it's not! Also, even though this is my only seminar that I've taken so far, I too think that it was pretty fun and also informative!
