Here are my first thought about this months course. I’m going to take a risk and maybe trash my grade up front by blogging about my first thoughts on the current course I find myself. I need to preface my comments by admitting that I had some preconception about this month’s course going into the course. It was suggested to me, by a source I choose not to reveal, that this months course was going to be all about putting together our AR project and the website that goes with the AR project. This same source even suggested to me that I not worry about completing my AR website prior to this months course because there would be time to spend on my AR website during this months course. With this in mind I came into this month excepting to put behind me all the extra stuff we usually have to do and be able to focus on my AR project. So I was quite disappointed when I found out about all the extra non-AR requirements for this months course. Had I not had expectation going into the course I would not have felt this way but none-the-less this is where I’m at and because I like most everyone else am working for the grade, will work long and hard to complete all the assignments on time and to the best of my abilities. On a positive note, I was glad to see that the CD added a due date message to FSO because I was/am very confused about what is due when. For example, I had no idea that the 5 blog posting where all due by tonight at midnight. I got on today and just happened to check the announcements and saw the due date announcement and when I checked it, WOW I had some work to do. So anyway this is where I am at, I know some of you have comments about this so be brave and let me know.
I appreciate your candor and chalk it up as the need to communicate some things in a more complete manner. At the same time, especially in view of the book's message about perception, things might have been less frustrating if you had been able to read through the course material without the prejudice that you'd have all month to do the AR website, versus the first week (or two weeks, given Spring Break). :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree and now that I have had some time to consider the the content of this months coarse I have a much better understanding of both the purpose and the need for all the assignments.
