As with all of my classes at Marylhurst, I think the gift has been and continues to be in the receiving of the information given and what I choose do with it. I think of words like malleable and flexible and mature. The knowledge is offered and is available to interpret and receive as needed. In other words, in case I am not making sense, I think that there is much more information available than the 10 weeks we have in class allows, and it has been up to me to do what I choose to do with it during and after the course. Yes there are assignments, and plenty of them, in all of my classes and sometimes I am overwhelmed, but overall I am grateful for what is offered and I take and leave as desired.
As far as this LLA outcome, I think that we have been given tools and food for thought to take and expand upon as needed depending on who we are and what each of us needs for success. Life changes, technology changes, the possibilities are endless and forever open to interpretations. I think the outcome means, like many of the classes offered at Marylhurst, that we be present with what is, not what we think it should be, and find gratitude and room to explore and adapt as needed as adult's in an adult learning environment. This class has been a good example, as is the outcome.
