5306 Course Reflections #4

Each week, I was able to manage my time to complete the assignment before the deadline requirement. I found the lessons to be relevant and enriching and I have been able to use some ideas gleamed in the classroom. Unfortunately, I did not gain much from the Final Word discussion. Seven days to post and respond seems a bit too lengthy a time period. Towards the end of the week, some students are making their first post, some are responding, and then some have already posted their reflection. I feel more relevant and sincere exchange of information existed when a fellow student asked a question or advice and information was shared in return. The response time to email is slow especially when you consider at turn-around time of 18 to 24 hours in a 168 hour deadline week. One email sent on Dec 9 at 6:40 A.M. is still waiting for a response. That is discouraging.
