What are fields of experience and how do they shape our perceptions? How might an entering freshman apply fields of experience in anticipating the atmosphere in his or her first college class?

What will be an ideal response?


Fields of experience are collections of attitudes, perceptions, and personal backgrounds. One will enter the college experience only knowing what classes were like in high school (personal background) and might expect the class to have a similar appearance and workload (attitude) and the professor to have traits similar to high school teachers (perception). It is important for a freshman to maintain openness in this new situation and to consider how the past might lead to a perceptual barrier (any factor that can lead to miscommunication or misunderstandings).
