Ms. Laura Cline,
I want to thank you for all that
you have challenged me with so far in this English class. I feel my biggest
challenge is trying to learn the new technology of the blogs that we have been
doing, this is new to me. My main reason
for taking online classes is because of my work schedule and home life being so
busy, I am able to do my school work around all of this so learning has be
quite interesting thus far. I do feel like my biggest success has been being
able to keep up with all of my homework, in the classes that I am taking and
staying on task, along with my everyday life challenges with work and home and
starting a new position at work.
The readings you have given us
have been outside anything I have read before and have been challenging for me
to grasp the concept of, however, they have broadened my wanting to read more and
I have recently downloaded Gulliver’s Travel to read in the future when I am
done with all the other reading I have going on currently in my schedule.
My goal for the second half of the
session is to continue staying on task and completing the course with at the
very least a B in the class, reaching for the A. I hope to improve my run on
sentences and putting my words together the correct way so I can fit enough
words to fill 3 full pages of these essays because that has really been hard to
do when the papers we are reading are only eight pages long.
Thank you for all your help.
Sincerely,
Toni Paxton
One of my challenges with school has always been keeping up with the homework. I think what has really helped me this semester is the fact that Ms. Cline does not accept late work at all (other than the one exception). It really hold you accountable for being on time because you don't get another chance.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on the texts that we have been given in this class! Ive never read essays like these, and never would have just picked them up recreationally. I think its good because its forcing us to broaden our horizons and show us that we really can digest deeper meaning subjects!
ReplyDeleteAll you have to do is put that A in a headlock and wrassle it to the ground! Procrastination is something that seems to come up quite a lot when people are talking about online classes. The nice thing about procrastination is you have complete control over it. It is your procrastination and you can do whatever you want to that procrastination. Put it outside in the cold and when it looks through the window with those big puppy dog procrastination eyes shut the blinds!
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree that the technology aspect of the course has been challenging. After eight weeks it seems like i finally got the hang of it. Hope you do well the rest of the semester and get that "A"
ReplyDeleteToni,
ReplyDeleteThis letter was very well put. I have the same challenges. Juggling school, work, and life schedule seems to be a major challenge. This class has been intriguing and very challenging. Keep up the good work, and I wish you the best on the A!
I agree with you about the text's we have read. Not something I would read normally. As well as the essay's, difficult for me as well. I struggle majorally. I think you have done a great job with navigatting the website and all the technology, i know you said in your intro video that it was all new to you and you are trying to figure it out so good job :) I hope you reach that A of yours!
ReplyDeleteBoy was this music to my ears. I have had a terrible time trying to write three plus pages on these skimpy passages that we have had to read. I hope that the one that we write about white noise will be much better and easier to write.
