- 35. The iBook’s approachturned out to be a fantastic way for me to learn, because it was structured individual research that still catered to the group. Every day I was able to read what we were going to do the next day, so I could be more prepared. This course fit every learning style, and since I am a bit of everything, I loved it.
- 36. The majority ofthe learning was done by ourselves. We taught each other everything we needed to know for the trip. It’s definitely not what I’m used to —learning by myself and becoming sort of a teacher—but it was easy to adjust to. It was effective and definitely hands-on.
