Question 4

Were you successful in carrying out the course assignments? If not, what prevented or discouraged you?
I do feel that I was quite successful in carrying out the course assignments as they were layed out. I do feel that there were some discrepancies in several of the assignments. I must explain this a little further in order to plead my case. On at least two different occassions I noticed that the assignment as it was written was just a tad different than the rubric. This is something that should be looked at before the course it taught again, from my standpoint. Of course, being that teachers are usually detail oriented people, I have high hopes that everyone read the rubrics prior to doing the assignments and noticed that there were slight differences. However, we all overlook things from time to time; some may not have noticed those differences.
There was one week which required posting a Powerpoint to our blog; I will not lie, this was a bit tough. It was good though. I did learn several things on my own that I will use after this class. I learned how to teach myself how to use different things in Powerpoint such a s hyperlink. So, for me, the week this assignement was there was tough, but in a good way.
I do think that there was one particular week which was a bit rigorous in the reading/posting area. However, I was not discouraged by this at all. This is, of course, a graduate class after all. It was a bit tough to get it all in, seeing as how those that are in this class all have classes of our own. Having said that, I personally feel that whatever a Graduate course professor would require of me in that course is completely legitimate to ask me to do. Graduate work is to be a bit tougher than Undergraduate work. It is to require more of you; thereby earning your certificate with pride of knowing what you had to do in order to get it.
