Mary,

What is going well in the course:
I think my excel assignment turned out well. I haven’t used excel in some time, so I had to reteach myself a few things. I enjoy playing with numbers, so once I had it figured out, it was fun for me.

What is going not so well in the course:
I’m a little nervous about how our group paper will come together. I am all about the exchange of ideas in groups and learning from one another, but I inherently hate group papers. No one has the same writing style, so they never flow well unless one person does extensive editing. I have never had a group paper assignment go smoothly. I hope I am proved wrong!

Your frustrations:
Our group meetings move somewhat slowly because we only use text. I use a mic with a group from another class, and we are able to discuss so much more in less time by comparison.

Your accomplishments:
I'm hanging in there!

Your life as an online learner:
My life as an online learner changes daily. Some days I feel really good about it, and others I ask myself what I have gotten myself into. Some weeks are very overwhelming, but I am trying to keep up.

Thanks,

Niecy
