What have you found most interesting/challenging?

M‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌id-Term Reflection As we approach mid-term, share your thoughts on your learning experience in this course so far. What’s going well? What have you found most interesting/challenging? Have you had any “aha” moments or is there something we need to do differently? Please also include interesting material, videos, or articles from the current module. Requirements for Discussion Boards: Make an initial post of minimum 250 words HERE IS SOME INFO TO HELP WITH THE POST This is a Humanities class This week’s discussion board is slightly different. There is no specific prompt question tied to the module content. Instead, the discussion invites you to share ideas about the course so far. Any constructive thoughts will be examined for possible integration during future course updates. It is also an opportunity to share the resources you have found helpful and think others could benefit, too. With that, let me share a quick tip on how to conceptually distinguish the two types of scientific inquiry. One of the most convenient ways to understand and remember these logics is to think of the process as going eithe‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌r from smaller pieces to a general conclusion (inductive) or from a general idea to concluding about smaller parts (deductive). In the former you are trying to come up with a general rule or pattern, while in the latter, you operate with a rule or a pattern to explain a particular/smaller happening.
