- ''JaegleJaegle'' Humanities Discussion That Changes My Life / Kwon Da-eun, Gap-Year Tribe Gapper |
Q. What made you decide to participate in the course?
I hadn''t ordinarily been exposed to many books, but after becoming interested in literature and the humanities, I didn''t know where to start, how to enjoy them, or how to read. So, feeling the need for a humanities group and searching for one, I discovered KoreaGapYear''s humanities discussion course and signed up.
Q. Before joining the course, was there anything you wanted to gain or any goal you hoped to achieve?
I needed enough experience to be able to hold a humanities group in my life after the course ended. I also wanted to continue doing well in discussions after the class, and they taught useful information such as how to run a discussion and basic discussion lines that can be used anywhere, so I think I can open and lead humanities discussions anywhere.
Q. Which lesson during the course was the most memorable to you?
I learned a lot in every class, but what stood out was the idea—illustrated with entertaining analogies—that the humanities can offer many solutions in our minds.solutionsI remember that idea. Maybe it was because I had a kind of ''choice paralysis'' when faced with decisions. I strongly agreed with the instructor and felt that I should read books.choice paralysisI strongly agreed with the instructor''s words and felt that I should read books.
