2). What was your favorite thing about the class? What was your least favorite thing about the class? How can this class be improved? Again, be specific.
I would have to say that my favorite thing about this class was being able to be flexible with when to do the assignments and the understanding of the online instructions. When I signed up for this class I had never taken an online class before and I had never done any blog type web posts before either and lucky enough for me, this class was really easy to understand. I also liked that this class did not exactly get in the way with my other classes and I could do what was needed for me to do, when it was the right time for me. In addition, I also really liked the accessibility of the professor and quick responses that the professor gave. What I was not too fond of with this class was the weekly due dates for this class, it was a bit confusing and hard to remember that this classes deadline for everything was Saturday and not Sunday. The week seemed to go by faster and I felt that sometimes time ran out too fast with the deadline for everything being Saturday. I think the only thing that I might improve about this class would be to maybe not have as many group assignments, but rather individual assignments, only because it is so hard to coordinate in person meetings for some of us.
i agree that being able to complete the assignments on my own schedule was a huge benefit to this class and was close to being my number one choice. It was a style of education i had never been a part of and i really truly enjoyed the experience and skills i gained in the completion of this course. We agreed as far as asking there to be fewer group assignments due to the fact that most people in an online class are not able to be at the campus when it is most convenient and making the times work for everybody at the same time caused many conflicts off interest and schedules.
ReplyDeleteHey CErcolini! I totally agree with this post! One thing I love about this class is that we have such flexibility in turning in our homework but one down side of having such flexibility is i tended to put off homework from this class because I also had tons of homework from my other classes that were due during the week. I also agree with your statement about group projects. When I signed up for this class I was not expecting any group projects just because I thought when it comes to online classes we would be more independent because you never know where people are or what their schedules are like. One reason I signed up for an online class is because my schedule is insanely busy this semester so I didn't have much extra time available to meet up with group members. So overall great post!
