Reflections: Looking Back

I love having online classes. That is one of the main reasons that I took the mythology and folklore class last semester. After taking that class, I loved the way that it was set up which is what brought me to this class. I love being able to be creative and also being able to create a schedule that works for me.

 I work on this class for a couple hours normally four days a week. I do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday. Sometimes I feel rushed but that is only because I have created a schedule that causes it. I have every intention of creating a schedule that works better for me. I am currently taking five online classes and I work two jobs so my mornings are completely taken so I only have the evenings and weekends to devote to my classes. This week is definitely going to help me create a better schedule though.

I normally do all my work at home. If I have some free time at work, then I will sneak some homework in their. Shhh... Don't tell my boss! However, most of my work is done at my house after my kids go to bed. I have a laptop so it varies on if I am at my desk or lying on my couch to do work.

I have not currently worked on any of the extra credit and I am quite disappointed in myself for it. Last semester, I was able to finish the class early because I had accumulated so many points. I plan on fixing that for the rest of the semester, especially since the extra credit assignments always teach me something that helpful.

I have been slacking a little on the storytellings also. I tend to not give myself enough time so I feel like I have made myself rush through most of the ones that I did and there were many weeks that I didn't write any at all. My favorite one that I wrote was the Week 6 Storytelling. I feel like I did a pretty good job on that one and I took my time more than I had been. Below is the image that I used for this storytelling.
