Well seeing as how I just completed blog number 4 I decided to do this one as well. There is nothing much I can do for my great grandmother but to wait and see how she is, so here goes my homework...
Being as how this is the last blog I wanted to get a head start, and I also just wanted to say thank you Dena for your patience with me, and for teaching me everything in that short amount of time while dealing with your new addition who is beautiful by the way. I am sorry for letting you down on assignment number 2, I realized I was just going to give up on that because the nearest library didn't have current Library of Congress books, they were from the year 1999. I doubt that would have worked right? I also never had any time to go to the lbcc library because they were already closed when I would go there for my math class at night. Alright well enough posting b.s. and excuses, what's done is done!
My online experience was okay, actually it was better than my first one, so there is your answer for that question. I feel that I had less student interaction but I expected that because hey this is the net, not a real class room. If I wanted more student interaction I would have taken this class in person but then again I probably would have done worse than what I did. For a class like this I prefer the net, but for another class I prefer face to face, it wasn't difficult to figure things out for myself.
No there are no other things I learned from another online class that I would like to have seen here. Every online class is different, especially if the online class is about math or computer keyboarding. Those subjects have nothing to do with this class so they wouldn't have worked. People who argue that online classes are harder are just plain illiterate, or they are lazy. It's true that it can be harder because you have to teach your self, but honestly in person classes can be harder too. For instance I just finished a 6 wk summer math class, it was hard and being that it was only 6 wks, I had to basically teach myself in there as well. Sure I had a teacher, but I learned better from me haha.. So you see if anything I would say they are equal.
If there was a face-to face workshop for this class I probably wouldn't have attended it because it's hard for me to leave in the daytime. I had that math class that I just mentioned up above every night, and I don't have anybody to watch my daughter in the daytime so you see it wouldn't have worked well with my schedule. If things were different, if I had my own car and I wasn't so stuck at home then sure I would have love to attend a face-to face workshop, only to see you in person and my other peers that were also taking this class with me. It's neat getting to know the other people who are taking the class as well because then we probably could have traded phone numbers with each other if any of us have a question. I'm sure that probably could have helped you out also since you had a new baby, and trust me new babies are alot of work as toddlers are also. :)
Good luck to you Dena and to everyone who took this class and stuck with it like I did. Hope everything works out well for everyone in the future.
P.S. I am still debating as to whether or not I am going to continue to write on this blog site. If you see another post after the class, there is your answer.
