Teaching reflection (课后反思)：

In my opinion, the success of this course lies in making students the masters of learning, discussing freely, expressing their own opinions, combining their own understanding of this course and performing creatively. But some new ideas and thoughts are out of my expectation, such as discussing "other forms of humor", students mentioned "Chunxiao" and changed it into a doggerel (打油诗）. Although I read a lot of data, I haven’t prepared this part.They are creative,aren’t they? This also is the breakthrough to the teachers! I see my own limitations. If I really give students space, they will not only learn some learning methods-----they will try to get "a glass of water" instead of being given "a glass of water".
