This online class has taught me a lot; how to motivate myself, how to make full use of any kind of aid available online and how to find online sources and learn how to cite them using the right way. I learned that as soon as you get connected to the internet, you are swimming in the stream of knowledge. Then, it will only be a matter of whether or not you want to take the full advantage of it and have enough skills to gain something positive from it. Technology will surely help you to move forward if it is used correctly and smartly. For example the online tools assignment provided in the course blew me up. I love the ideas of using technology to help you making organized notes that can help you with your study and at the same time save plethora of your time. The online resources assignment taught use how to find articles and journals that could not only aid you with your study but also with your research.
I learned that I’m very motivated to do things that I love and things that interest me the most. But after reading on the book and notes, I know, you can never focus only on things you love. That is when I found visual aids to be really useful to make something colorful and interesting. Dull and boring assignments or works cannot be used as a reason for you not to start your assignment early or not to be spent equally as other assignments. It is your responsibility to get out of that situation. The assignments offers in this course provide me ways not be more independent on the lecturer. I tried to find my own ways to get out of any situation that could hamper the effort to learn what I should learn from a class.
The most meaningful experience is that I have the chance to voice out my opinions to others and also read my other classmates have to say. The fact that we all are in the same boat make what the blog posts written based on the experience and feelings right from deep inside of us. Not all of us are lucky to know ways how to solve that came up, so reading comments or opinions do help me a lot. Beside, the chance to read others’ posts made you realize you are not alone in this daunting situation as a student and it made realized that you have to work harder and smarter.
All positive elements that I learned from my class can definitely make me a better person. The study method, online study tools and motivation will propel me to make me enjoy my class and the way I live my life better. I can save tons of time by knowing my aim and making full use of all the available online study tools. Even there are negative elements that I learned from the class, I could use them as a guide for me not to fall into such undesired situation as a student.
