I really enjoyed this course in the fact that it enforces that instructors can be guides for adult learning. I think there are perceptions that take place in that instructors should be teaching and are responsible for students understanding all information. This course has reinforced that actually positive learning techniques and classroom practices involve more open discussion and democratic principles, while guiding adult learners to success, without the assumption that the instructor has to be the dictator to ensure student retention.
I do like the ideal of respectful relationships, responsive facilitation, reality based learning, and reflection both for the instructor and the student are all important to help ensure success for the adult learning process.
