Dear AUC students,

This course wasn’t just a global studies course where I learned professional skills from but a course where I developed personal skills and attitudes that left an impact on me and on my life . I don’t even know from where or how to begin. Throughout this course I learned so much about myself , my identity and my passions .

When it comes to identity, soliya’s exchange program helped me learn about my identity and who I really am , interacting with people with different cultures and backgrounds made me discover more about my identity, I discovered that i am not shy as i am imagined myself to be . Soliya also made me come to the realization that what differs a person from another is its identity. Soliya developed my communication and critical thinking skills, it left me thinking and wanting to know more about myself. The communication and critical thinking skills I developed are skills i am definitely going to use in my personal, academic , social and career journey. I gained a new attitude that i’m very happy about. It’s basically listening to how i feel and try to find something positive at the beginning of each day and that is because Dr Maha used to ask us each morning list something you are grateful for and how are you feeling. I really liked this and it turned into a habit . It made me realize that there is always something good in everyday and that it is our role to find the positives each day . This attitude made me become a more positive and optimistic person. I will use this in my social life by asking about others’s feelings, in my career and academic life by starting each day with hope and a positive thought.

If i were to show someone my leaning in this course i would show them the game I created because it though me about my passion which is fashion https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NAqEvsBRldTDsqzXYXgkhq3v791WA6gTbUUdSor3Rlo/edit . I would also show them my soliya reflection as it was an amazing experience and opportunity for me . I really enjoyed it and learnt from it a lot https://reflect.creativitycourse.org/published/post-soliya-reflection-2/

There isn’t much i’d like to change about this course as i really enjoyed it but

If i could suggest something to be changed in  this course i would recommend classes outside of the classroom or day trips . I would also suggest exchange program like soliya but not virtual a real one where for example we host students then we travel and they host us . I believe that this could be a fun and beneficial experience .

I believe the kind of person who should take this course, is the person who wants to develop creativity, communication skills . This course is very interactive and useful for a shy person who wants to start getting out of his comfort zone . This course is also for anyone who wants to know more about AI and develop his digital skills .

Overall, I’d recommend this course for you . Trust me you won’t regret and you’ll learn from it a lot wether on a personal or educational level
