I have learned so much during this course on how to handle conflict. At first I was not sure what I was getting myself into when I knew I was taking a conflict class, but it ended up being much different than what I was expecting. I learned what to do when conflict occurs and how to control my anger. I think these two things I learned not only helped me for this class, but will help me throughout my life. Having these types of skills will allow me to confront any type of conflict with a calm, open mind and I will know what to do when I am in an uncomfortable situation. This class also taught me how to deal with my anger and what steps to take when something is troubling me. This skill will help me outside of this class because it seems like people are always trying to get under your skin and knowing how to deal with that type of situation is important. Overall, this class taught me a lot and I enjoyed taking this class.

This class was one of my favorite classes I have taken at SJSU. I like how our professor gave us updates weekly and would always respond to our emails right away. Another thing I enjoyed about this class was the weekly posts. I thought it allowed me to express myself as well as communicate with other classmates even though we have never met in person. The thing I liked least about this class was the semester long project. I thought it was very difficult, even though I did well on it. I thought it was very time consuming and it was challenging to keep up with everything at first. I would recommend this class to other students and I already have done that. I thought this class was challenging enough but not impossible to pass or enjoy. Some of the people I have told to take this class are taking it next semester. Overall, I thought this class was great and I enjoyed taking it.

When people think of conflict they instantly think of something negative or something they do not want to be a part of. Conflict has a negative thing about it that people get scared and people become scared about what is going to happen to them. The main thing when dealing with conflict is understanding how to assess and handle the situation. When people think of conflict they think of something bad. Conflict does not always have to be something negative. Conflict can be negative, but it can also be positive, which many people are not aware of. Once someone understands the types of conflict and how to deal with a situation, they will be much more comfortable during conflict. From a personal experience, I am way less fearful or nervous when I am in a conflict situation. It does not matter whether it is a positive or negative conflict, I feel that what I have learned throughout this course has allowed me to deal with conflict in the right matter.
