A University classroom is one of the few places left on mother earth where students have total intellectual freedom. We are all students, albeit with abilities varying in sophistication and development. Therefore, do not be hesitant to express yourself through oral and written exercises. Dialogue is an important part of the learning process, especially in societies that are historically based on oral traditions. We will in effect use dialogue to reinforce other learning activities. I prefer that you share your thoughts with the class.
This course should also be used to enhance your chosen career by obtaining a multicultural view of our present day society. With exposure to another's viewpoint, a better understanding of culture and its intrinsic workings should enable you to have a clearer interpretation of how it affects people's interactions.
