Exit Slip: Take Away From Personal Phenomenological Experiences

From our personal phenomenological experiences, the takeaway of this, in my opinion, is the concept of "human" aspect of teaching - and just human aspect of social interaction between each other. Interacting with others is all very important for us all, and that including everyone (accommodating and adapting to students' learning needs). We also talked about authority, and how students are more intimidated by teachers with high authority because they may be less likely to ask questions and seek help. So, if a teacher is more "human" and not just a "robot" (or a scary authority figure), students may be more inclined to seek help and be more interested in the topics that they teach. In all, the concept of being sociable and human-ly to others (i.e. respecting and adapting to students' needs) are very important!
