INTRODUCTION I am Hubert Were, a Kenyan by birth and a finalist at UoPeople and I am taking three courses in the current semester. In this course, PHIL 1402 Quality Management, I look forward to gaining fundamental skills and knowledge in inquiry and critical thinking to help me better manage a business that meets customer needs in a motivated environment. LEARNING JOURNAL ACTIVITIES a) How helpful is the instructor? How could the instructor be more helpful? The instructor is a great energizer for the group. Provides alternative approaches to knowledge acquisition. For example, he guided me on how to answer questions in a different way in the learning journal by expressing peer dialogue in the form of a game/drama.b) Group interaction - How does the group interact? Are we a cohesive group? Are we doing our job? The group interacts with each other in a respectful manner and by observing the code of ethics that governs the virtual learning environment. Colleagues have strong teamwork and passion in carrying out the course work. c) Have I contributed significantly to the discussion? What was my most important contribution to the discussion? Why? I contributed significantly to the discussion forum by answering questions. My most important contribution was on Kant's epistemology which demonstrated that ideas constitute our experience. This translates into the knowledge we have from UoPeople as our experience. d) What would I change about the way things are going right now? Is there enough order/structure in what we're doing, or are things a little too anarchic for my tastes? Things don't go as well as I expected, especially in the graded quizzes. The ratings are low. I have to roll up my sleeves because I have no excuses because there is an adequate order in... in the center of the paper... there are only rules for thinking called categories which are innate and necessary for understanding.b) Knowledge has both form what content.c) Ideas constitute our experience) There are two types of knowledge; phenomena and noumena. Day 5 (Monday 10 March 2014) I reviewed the short notes and then assessed the assignment for my classmates in unit five. Day 6 (Tuesday, March 11, 2014) I reviewed the reading materials for unit six again and took the graded quiz. Day 7 (Wednesday, March 12, 2014) I went through the unit six checklist to make sure I did all the work. Day 8 (Thursday 13 March 2014) I filled out the classroom participation and expectations learning diary and explained the challenges I encountered in the classroom as shown above. Day 9 (Friday, March 14, 2014) I updated the learning journal and sent it to the instructor for review and evaluation.
