What I liked most about this class was the pacing and choice of textbook. So often it's easy to get lost in an online course, not knowing whats due or when it's due. I felt that our professor did a great job at keeping students involved and in the loop as to what was happening for each week. I exchanged a few emails with her when I had various questions and always found her response to be both quick and helpful.
My only "dislike" may have been the amount of comments we were asked to make on other peoples postings. At times it felt excessive, like I may be repeating myself or just filling in space. The whole "commenting" idea i've seen in every single online class i've taken at SJSU. It's a useful idea in someways, although it gets rather repetitive.
Hello Ben,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion of the book and how it was a great choice for our particular class. In reading your blog I realized how I additionally enjoy how the professor had her own blog and kept everyone on track and reminded everyone of projects due, assignment questions, and upcoming announcements. It was a terrific way to interact with the students on the same level that we are all communicating at. During some weeks I felt things were repetitive, but I liked reading other’s opinions on the same questions. It would bring me back to the idea that we are all extremely different thus the more reason to learn about conflict resolution. I enjoyed your blog and good luck!!
