ED 5010 UNIT 1 DISCUSSION 1

Discussion 1

Where Are You Headed?

What are some of your thoughts, wants, and feelings as you begin your Capella University program? There are no doubt many of them! How the courseroom works, what is expected of you and what you can expect of your instructor, how to best plan your time, and so forth. We are all similar, but no two of us are exactly the same! Our feelings have an effect on our learning outcomes, and expressing feelings openly improves our learning experience.

The purpose of this discussion is to give you a safe and welcoming place to express your thoughts, wants, and feelings upon entering the course. For your initial post in this discussion, share some of your thoughts, feelings, or concerns. You will accomplish this goal best by focusing on "I" statements, rather than on generalizations about other people.

Make a Connection

In addition to responding to the discussion prompt above, at the end of your post state a question or issue that is of interest to you. This is meant to help engage your peers and let them know how they can best support you.

Response Guidelines

Read the posts of your peers, and respond to at least two other learners, completing the following:

• Begin each response with a positive reflection on an idea or viewpoint expressed by the learner.
• Add your own perspective or a relevant reference from the literature.
