I also feel that the laboratories will foster a sense of friendship between members of the class. This will aid in the learning process because it will make everyone in the class more open to each other's ideas. The laboratories will make the class relax around each other, allowing everyone to say what they think without any pressure.

Empowerment is a very strong word.
Empowerment means many things for me, one being, the ability to take control of one's destiny and life path. Another definition of empowerment for me is arming oneself with knowledge to defend against and counter oppressive systems. Education is a word that is synonymous with empowerment, without one you cannot have the other. However, it is important to note that education can be disempowering depending upon the context in which education is taught and learned. Education can be disempowering when the teacher is seemingly the only authority to whom a student can turn.
