Kafui's FInal Personal Reflection

Taking this course gave me the opportunity to apply the lessons that I not only learned in class but my overall education with the university. As I came into the course I wanted to have the opportunity to work with fellow classmates and also learn information about adolescents that I did not have the chance to learn before taking this course. I must say that was achieved, not only did I have the opportunity to work with my classmates in creating a lesson plan and actually conducting it, I was able to see other facilitator styles from my peers and instructors. Being able to see and apply those skills in a “real” world situation was a favorable component in the course. The outcome of each workshop conducted was worth experiencing in an educational setting. In addition, I felt the assignments and classroom activities were very appropriate. It gave us the opportunity to practice what was immediately taught and also gave us the opportunity to experience the activities that we were planning to disseminate to our intended audiences. Some of the topics discussed and learned in class will assist me in both the planning and dissemination stage of creating youth programs in my public health career. Overall, I enjoyed the course and will apply some of the skills learned to my interaction with the youth population.
