    1. Instead of focusing on just remembering facts in the banking method and nothing else, the problem posing education  method focuses more on flexibility and asking questions. This leaves more room for growth in students and allows them to take ownership of their education.

      This connects to our "What Makes Us Human"class. For only being in this class for a few months, it is eye-opening to see how this style of learning makes class more enjoyable. I appreciate the "owning" your education/ Open Pedagogy method because it allows students to be independent and learn what they want to learn.

    1. The article also states that students with parents who did not complete 4 years of college, or students who are the first-generation college students are also at greater risk of non-completion (O’Keffee).

      I can see how some students will drop out if their parents did not complete a full four years of college, but in my case both of my parents did not and I completely have a different view. My mom stopped going to college to attend business school and my dad left college for HVAC. My mom reminds me all of the time how she wishes she finished her college education and wishes she got her degree. Therefore, I wanna be the first in my family to complete college and have a bright future!
