What I learned.
This summer, I learned a lot in this class. First, I learned how to manage time. All the professors that I have taken never done a blog nor telling their students to post something that's 12 hours apart. At first, I found it to be annoying but as time went on, I got used to it and it's like a reflex! I didn't have to figure out when I should post my next blog. Second, I learned that online learning is just as effective as classroom learning. Sure, it might not be the same because the professor isn't there physically, but emailing about any question and concerns is the same as talking in person because the professor usually goes into detail when explaining things. Third, I learned that online group meetings can be quite difficult. I find it difficult because everyone has a different schedule whether it's work, family time, or hanging out. I learned how to work around people's schedule and to have patience whenever a group mate take a while to respond back. Overall, this summer course taught me things that are useful and I can use it in the future.

Hey! So first things first, great job on this post! You went into detail about not just one thing but a few things. I must agree with you, that at first the 12 hour apart thing was rather annoying and difficult. But like you said as time went on, it became a routine for me. (I figured out that as long as you save the post first it saves to the date you saved it on so when you publish them, you can publish them all at once. Just as long as you saved each 12 hours apart!) I like a real classroom better just because everyone is right there in front of you and you really get to interact with everyone. Sometimes it is hard to learn or teach if you don't get the students or teachers reaction in the flesh. And other times it easier to ask questions over the computer so its confidential. I'm personally a people person. The online meeting thing was not the best thing in the word either. People tend to push it off until the very last minute sometimes which can be very frustrating. When in a classroom and you have a meeting then, there's usually no way of getting out of it. Anyway good job on this post!
ReplyDeleteI also agree with the comments above about this post. I find that this is an effective course and will benefit us later in the future. If there is one thing I learn from this course is that whether it is an online course or an actual class where we physically met, this class shares the same aspects. The one thing I did find annoying in the beginning was the 12 hour discussion gap for each post; I found it annoying in the beginning, but useful in the end knowing that it gives time to give each blog some thought.
