We Learn from Reflecting on Experience

Mayra Mojica Butler, Lecturer, Business Department

Remote teaching has not altered my teaching perspective as an educator

in accounting. Instead, it has only elevated the intensity to reach out to my students, to help them embrace knowledge, and to learn from the disruption. The experience lived during the pandemic has also opened new ways for us to connect and to learn from each other. For instance, during the fall 2021 semester I invited a guess who delivered a presentation on: “Money Lessons and Budget for College Students”. The lectured was presented to students via Zoom, presenting the importance of working on a budget during tough times. This was a way to provide useful information connecting the class with reality issues and the challenges that we had to live through the pandemic. My group of students were riveted as they listened and engaged with the speaker through his knowledge and experiences.

The understanding of the issues and consequences during the pandemic had taught us to adapt to changes, by seeking new ways of teaching in order to follow our goals and to achieve our objectives.
