Well, I have about 15 minutes before my class begins, so why not take the time to blog about it? I'm currently taking the Computer Apps in the Workplace course which is instructed by Sandra Dackin. It seems pretty easy and laid back so far. When I was ordering books, I didn't realize what exactly I'd be buying for this class. I soon found out that I would be paying over 40 dollars for a simple, 18 digit code. On the first day of class, Prof. Dackin explained to us that this code is required to log-in to an outside website that we will use throughout the course, instead of a text book. We started studying Windows 7 and all of the programs in entails. I feel very familiar with Windows 7, but I realized I have more to learn. Of course I don't mind starting out with easy projects. Prof. Dackin gave me a very good first impression. She seems very understanding and down to earth. Last week, my log-in code had still not come in the mail, so I had to explain to her what was going on and why I did not have it. I was slightly afraid that she was going to scream at me. Instead, she simply asked me to work with a partner in class so I wouldn't be too far behind. I felt relieved. Prof. Dackin always has a smile, and I must say she has a good sense of style too. I'm excited for this course and I can't wait to learn more about using a computer.
Hi Amelia! I also take this class, but I take it on my own at home. I honestly think it is really easy but sitting at home it is just so hard for me to find the motivation to do the work. It seems like I am given a very simple project to do it just takes me hours to complete it. I really wish I would have taken this class in a classroom instead of on my own. I feel like I filled my plate way to full this semester. At least I learned early. So for next time I won’t seclude so many classes. I feel overwhelmed all the time with school work and regular work. It gets tough. I honestly have no motivation to do school work outside of school, because I am always so tired and worn out from everything else going on. You know what I mean? I really wish I would have taken the computer class in a classroom. It would make everything so much easier if you ask me. I mean the online class helps you work around your schedule better and everything. I just work better when someone is telling me what to do. I think I might have to drop this class after I already paid for it and everything because I just can’t find the time to do it and it just stresses me out that much more when I think about it. I love professors that are all smiley and happy and willing to help you whenever you need it. Not all professors are that way, that's for sure.
