I am returning to School after 10 years of working in the field. I have become somewhat complacent in learning new things and I am hoping to regain the eagerness that I once had. Earlier in my life I would look forward to learning about a new topic and really enjoy reading books that I found intellectually stimulating. I recently read a book on Einstein's theory of relativity and felt the old spark that I once had in respect to learning. I felt as though I didn't want to put down the book for fear that I would not take time to pick it up again. I found myself thinking about the theories discussed in this book every time I had free time away from work or my other responsibilities. This is the feeling that I would like to nurture and focus in relation to my current career. .
I have started and operated two successful companies. I have always had the opinion that I did not need to further my education in order to become successful in my professional career. I have now realized that there are skills that further schooling may be able to help me with. I am eager to identify these areas and learn new methods for accomplishing tasks that I have struggled with in the past. .
What I expect from The University Of.
I hope to be challenged constantly by the courses I attend at. I hope that each of the instructors are prepared for in-depth classroom discussion and regularly hand out challenging assignments. I use the term "classroom discussion" because I feel that we should have a discussion on the subject matter at hand rather than just a lecture by a professor. While a lecture can be a great way to get a basic understanding of a particular subject, I feel there is a greater benefit when learning is conducted in a group setting. I have the tendency to get bored with a subject that I understand rather well. I believe that if classes are held more as a forum for discussion than a lecture on a particular topic, I will be less apt to become complacent in my studies when they are on a topic that I have already learned.
