Do you feel that when you're stressed for a test or exam that you perform worse?

Standardized testing creates a lot of stress for students and forces them to learn to succeed on a test, not for their own knowledge. I think there are better ways to evaluate students such as more project-based assessments. @Sflecce Any thoughts on this?

@EM203CZAKI Something needs to be done to combat the rising trend in mental health issues, especially in the youth

Mental health had been a growing concern pre-pandemic. Now, COVID-19 has negatively impacted Mental Health and has worsened the issue. @MinisterofHealth It has become a serious health crisis and it is time to start improvising and finding solutions to aid in addressing the issue.

@EM203SBrooke @JustinTrudeau I want to be able to buy a house one day but a big purchase like that feels more and more unrealistic every day

Inflation is hitting Canadians hard. How can one live knowing that rising prices are making living unaffordable and everyday necessities are almost triple the price they used to be? I encourage my fellow peers to take a stand. @JustinTrudeau, let’s put an end to inflation.

Twitter will soon add ability to attach long-form text to tweets, ending absurdity of notepad screenshots

Can't wait to see this next year

#em203problems @EM203Akhalaf Your concept map does a great job going over climate change, a very important issue that effects us all. A problem I identified is you have weather leading to temperatures rising but temperatures rising would be caused by CO2 emissions

#em203problems @em203_erinr Your concept map is very insightful to social media and all its amazing benefits as well as shortcomings. I would add a bubble to the misuse category for scams like phishing or maybe even give it a category of its own

#em203problems @MattzigEM203 Your concept map gave good insight to all the aspects that go into our education. A problem I identified is putting google and tech in the same bubble, both those tools are quite powerful and do different things so I think they should be separate.

#EM203Problems @EM203ESearle I focused on personal health for my mind map. One of the avenues I explored was a healthy lifestyle. I think that a healthy work-life balance and breaks can improve personal health. They will also help develop good time-management skills

@MattzigEM203 I have also been enjoying the course and can't wait to see what's in store. I really enjoyed reading your discussion posts and the unique opinion you bring to the group.

So far the first three weeks of #Em203robin has been great! I’ve had the opportunity to learn about different learning styles while experimenting with which learning style works best for me. I cannot wait to see what else this course will teach me!

@EM203OErlich I also enjoyed learning about my assigned learning framework. It was cool to be able to learn something and then have a discussion about it with a group.

The first few weeks of #Em203robin have been exciting. I had the opportunity to learn about unique learning frameworks while discovering what works best for me. I'm looking forward to learning so much more in this course!

@EM203SBrooke The content from the first few weeks has greatly intrigued me as well. Learning about the various learning frameworks was really intriguing!

In the first 3 classes of EM203, I have really enjoyed the course delivery. It is unlike standard university courses in the sense that it allows for freedom and creativity. I have learned about learning styles, specifically connectivism, which really interests me. #Em203robin

@EM203CZAKI I've also been enjoying the course so far Cyril. The uniqueness of the assignments really does set this apart from the other classes I'm taking this semester

So far, my first few weeks in EM203 have been really interesting and exciting! From learning about theories like connectivism, to being able to learn a new skill, it certainly isn't something you get to have in other courses. Very excited for what's to come in EM203. #Em203robin

@EM203CGryfe I also haven't been able to put down the sudoku. Love the gif Cooper

I have really enjoyed the first 3 lessons of EM203! This is the first time that a professor has encouraged me to learn a new skill! I have not been able to stop playing sudoku! #EM203Robin

This week in #EM203Robin we were tasked with learning a new skill and I completed a sudoku puzzle. So far the first three weeks of the course have been a great experience and I have been enjoying the interactive element that the twitter posts provide to the course
