One of the most beneficial trainings I’ve taken was a trauma response training, where I learned how to apply a tourniquet and respond to severe bleeding. What made it stand out was how hands-on it was. I had a partner where I practiced applying a tourniquet and walked through realistic emergency scenarios. You might have heard this before but having a tourniquet on you hurts a lot. From people in trauma situations they have said the most painful part was having a tourniquet put on them and I get it I had it on me for like 3 minutes and it sucked. Based on what we learned this week, effective training should be engaging, relevant, and interactive. This training checked all those boxes. It also included immediate feedback from instructors, which helped me correct mistakes right away and improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, a class I did not find very helpful was macroeconomics. The scope of the class was so broad that it felt disconnected from my interests and future career. A lot of concepts were theoretical and hard to relate to real-life situations I could see myself in. Because of that, it was difficult to stay engaged or feel motivated to learn the material. From this week’s perspective, the class lacked relevance and didn’t connect well to practical application, which made it less effective for me. I also felt like most of the learning was passive lectures and notes without much interaction or hands-on work. It didn’t help that I took the class online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, the difference comes down to engagement and relevance. The trauma training worked because it was interactive and clearly useful in real-world situations. Macroeconomics, on the other hand, felt too broad and disconnected to really stick with me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
