 Today in class we did groups work for our project. We were assigned our teams and I was disappointed. Not because of who was on my team, but rather because I did not get either of my choices despite my second choice having only 3 people. I actually had a strong interest in Security and Privacy, yet I was put into a group that I have no interest parenting styles. Maybe it will get me out of my comfort zone, so I guess it's a good thing. Todayy we had a bellringer that asked about strength and weaknesses. I don't like being asked this question (especially on interviews) because I think it's naive to assume that I am a significantly good at something, as well as the fact that I don't even know if I have strength or weaknesses because I don't think it's possible to assess yourself without bias. The question should instead be something that allows the person to feel as though they're not being arrogant and allows them to answer with a little more honesty instead. I'm sure interviewers take the answers to that question with a grain of salt. I obviously gave a made-up answer to the bellringer in order to get it over with.

    I was a bit disappointed too because I didn't get my top choice, but I at least got my 2nd choice. Also that's a very good point about assessing ones' strengths and weaknesses. I've actually never thought of it like that, but I'm always honest when assessing myself.

  Today in class, we went over sources for our group project! It was a very necessary explanation. Without it, I doubt I would be able to find any good sources. I wasn't able to find many good ones today, however, but it's good that he is giving us time to do so. Very understanding teacher which is commendable. A few days ago he showed people who were overreacting to the project. I don't remember any other project we had in this class. On one hand, I can understand them being stressed right now with other classes, but on the other hand they should be grateful with the current workload. In groups we also were able to decide who does what.

 Today in class we discussed a bellringer about whether education is boring or not. In my opinion, education isn't boring if you're looking at the bigger picture. But the work involved may be boring. There's also other factors. I actually enjoyed today's lesson a bit because he went over sources which helped. I was able to write a good claim and back it up with evidence from the provided texts. Overall a really good day.
