Class Reflection (611) - Sept. 5

Contemporary Issues (II) - History, Identity, and Training

* Reading and the processing of readings - Comparison of similarity vs differences; evaluation - preference & suitability for self

* Alternating between didactic information & group activities

* Group activities: work sheet with questions - individual response - group discussion - class sharing

* Saddened by: 1) the initial "accept rather than endorse" attitude toward multicultural and diversity issues; 2) the phasing out of counseling psychology program at OSU

* Positive: small group discussion - process comment, "I" statement, not self-pity, not blaming other; not denial/avoidance, not defensive or aggressive, but honest, assertive, and constructive. (a pat on the back for myself :O)
