I think it's interesting that the readings will be broken into two parts, and I find it further interesting that we can choose to just...not do assignments if we do extra credit. I think it makes this class much more flexible. However, I had a friend who took this class last year, and she said it makes it easy to become lazy and end up with a B. I guess it is a personal thing on whether or not you can be disciplined.
I think I will enjoy doing the Tech Tips extra credit. As a computer engineer, it seems to be "up my alley".
Overall, this looks to be a fine online course with clear expectations. I'm just looking forward to stretching my writing and storytelling skills when the Mythology part of it starts.

Ha ha, very cute image. I will have to snag that to add to my "outside the box" files. :-)
ReplyDeleteAbout getting a B in the class: my goal is just for everyone to pass! Although I am trying to do a better job of promoting the extra credit this year so that people will build that up EARLY instead of scrambling at the end when things get busy in all the classes. Fall semester is really great because lots of people set a goal to finish before Thanksgiving, which is totally do-able!
