Week 8 discussion

Good evening everyone

and welcome to the last week of classes.

So getting down to the wire here. So this is week eight.

Um,

I think what to talk about tonight, I'm not really sure what the topic truly is.

Um,

I feel like this past eight weeks have been

and interesting

conglomeration of the past year and a half of all of our classes so far

come together into this class where there's been a lot of overlap, but also

as

we've

grown and developed ourselves,

we're willing to speak out more for what's what we believe in and what we,

what we think.

Um,

you know, I'm not sure we could have had some of some of these touch and post

a year and a half ago

that we have this time and I think that's really great. Um,

at the same time,

I really wish we could have had them a year and a half ago when we first started.

Um, I think that this is something that should have been said

um, from the very beginning and, and the fact that, you know,

that we didn't feel comfortable enough to share them or speak about them until now.

I don't know if it says more for us or not enough about us. I'm honestly kind of

in a,

in a bit of a m

cannot know about it.

Um,

because I think what, what, what's been going on is really wrong

and I'm really tired of being asked these types of questions over and over again.

Um, as a white person.

I don't want to center myself around it,

but at the same time I want to stand up and be an ally to

um students who are offended by it and who should be offended by it.

Um So it's a

strange situation and

I feel like the fact that

we're speaking right now,

um it's just, it's just interesting as well as we get down to the end of our program,

um as for the final project,

um

you know, as you guys know by now, it seems like

it was, was the same thing, the project we had last class.

Um it's something that wasn't done two of my previous employers as well,

so I don't really know that I got a huge amount out of the project itself.

Um I could have easily done it in one week rather than four, but you know, that's fine,

but it's a little easier.

Um I do think,

you know,

we we did get a little more in depth this time and I think that each time we do it,

you know, we learn a little more, we grow a little more, we add a little more to it.

Um I think for this time,

um I really liked the kirkpatrick models evaluation.

I think that's what's due to me, this,

this class. Um,

I can see how it can be really useful to and why it's important.

I feel like though that it's a little bit

outdated with what we're learning about moving towards,

a learning culture of our of our environment

rather than just a training class.

And so you know that it's sort of a mixed bag of things in there. I love you

supposed that I um

and I think the other really big piece for me was that diversity um Intelligence.

Which while we're all very aware of diversity

is something not necessarily new in it.

The whole idea of that as a

topic

uh as a subject

of the intelligence that told the Q. Factor now I want ice cream um

is

importance.

And I think that's not getting nearly enough attention

that people think that they just hire a more diverse.

The first

employees or look for obvious signs of diversity

that they've done their job, but until they actually become

um intelligent through in diversity

then

they can't really

incorporate them all into their culture and understand that everyone has

something to add.

So you know that was

not new

but definitely nice to see it

in there.

Um

Okay I guess that's all I have to say,

I think I'm not really sure what I'm going with any of this.

Um I really enjoyed learning with all of you again

this time

and looking forward to having

you again next to him.

Bye.
