Introduction-Kasey

Hello everyone, my name is Kasey and I just transferred to Chico from San Diego. I am an English Education major and when I graduate I want to teach English at the high school level. I would also like to teach journalism classes. Before transferring I got two associates degrees, one in English the other in Journalism. I took this class because I am going for the T-sol certificate and Kelly recommended the class at orientation. It sounded like a fun class and also a job opportunity next semester which sounded really cool because it is practice for the future.

The passage I chose was:

The passage seems to be saying that learning and understanding are two different things. Two people can be in the same lecture learning the same information but their brains may process the information differently. They may understand the lecture to mean different things and that is okay, it is only by coincidence that they come up with the same understanding. The passage then goes on to say that learning is through participation of and not individual. That it is because of the different perspectives of the various participants that learning can occur.
