5306 Course Reflections #1

I have been entertaining the idea of getting my masters for a few years. Now that my girls are either married or in college, I felt the time was right. Going into the first course, I had no idea what to expect. My major objective was to see if I could manage the time and if I still was capable of tackling formal studies. I didn’t even take note of the course title. Quite honestly, I felt overwhelmed by the amount of work required. I feel that the Academic Partnerships representative grossly underestimated the amount of time required each week. I was also frustrated that the course had not been adequately maintained and by the amount of broken links encountered during the first two weeks. But I have survived. I have an “A” in the course despite a zero on the week two web conference  and not knowing I was given a second opportunity to submit because it was posted on Epic "details" instead of communicated in an email.
