Reflection of Marty's class

We are officially done or almost done with marty’s class. I wanted to reflect on the most important things that I learnt in the class.

To start off , the biggest thing to me was learning “How to think rather than What to think”. The process of thinking can be channelized and can be made more productive using a few techniques. Also how group thinking works was a big learning experience for me.

Then, Finding design patterns in objects, methods, processes in life was super interesting. I loved the way we started with looking into Light switches, Tea bags, Thermostats and ended up with Music

Next, Seeing multimedia content in the class. From Snow white to “Freedom is coming” … what a way to begin. This made me come to class early (atleast most of the times).

I cannot not comment on the 7 themes and the principles framework. I think they are strong guiding forces. Personally i use the principles framework and add a new attribute to it called the “Goals”, this is little different from the vision and mission statement.

Overall, i think this was a brilliant course .. and i am so glad we are ending it on a high note. Too bad this is the only course you teach marty …
