Over this semester, I felt I really learned how to handle conflict in a better way than I used to handle it. When someone had a problem with me, I would just be like “alright tell me what is bugging you” and half the time I just didn’t care. A lot of people I felt were just too sensitive and didn’t quit know how to handle me or how I act. When I had a problem with someone else, I would just tell them straight up and a lot of people didn’t like how I approached it but I always figured why beat around the bush. But, after going through this book, I have learned that with some people I cant do what I usually do when it comes to conflict, and that I have to adjust the way I handle conflict with certain people. I just feel that I handle conflict in a completely different way then before.

I liked many aspects of this class. I took a class with professor Perez before online, and it was a lot of fun. I liked how everything is laid out for you in the class, and how quick professor Perez was to respond when I had questions, and that’s what made me decide to take another one, and I am glad I did. I love the weekly posts that tell us exactly what we are supposed to do, and when they are due. I really liked our class book as well. I thought it taught me a lot of things that I had absolutely no idea about before this class. It also made me less stressful about handling conflict. The only thing I didn’t like about the class was that I felt the directions for the final workshop were very vague. I didn’t know what was exactly wanted on it and that stressed me out just a tad. But, I would definitely recommend this class to another student!

I think people have such a negative view of conflict because most of the time it seems like conflict situations never end well between people. I know everyone has that friend that always has a problem with someone else and they vent to you and in your head you think oh man again, you are full of conflict and I never want that. I think that if more people read the book that we did, that they wouldn’t fear it as much, or not at all. I think this because after reading the book, they would learn how to handle different conflict situations. I used to hate conflict, but after reading this book I feel like I could handle a conflict situation with ease and grace.
