Although this wasn't my first online class that I have taken, I soon came to realize that it is going to be one of the tougher ones if not the toughest that I have ever taken. Online learning is much different from person learning because you have to pretty much teach yourself if it is online. Yes, you have a teacher that will always do their best to help you but some students can't find time to meet with the instructor all the time. Person learning is much easier in classes like English, math and science because those are the core classes that every student has to take sooner or later. A benefit for learning in an in-class environment is always having a teacher there helping the student one on one two days a week. We did many things in this class that I've never done in an online class before. We could skype Professor Laura Cline if needed, we could make videos for some assignments, and we were required to create our own blogs throughout the course. I enjoyed the blog the most because it is something that I've never done before. I also liked it because we were able to share our work with our classmates and vice versa. In an in-class course it is likely to keep your work to yourself and the teacher and I didn't mind that either. I liked mixing things up for a change and getting my classmates feedback for my essays before my instructors. I also learned from my classmates papers to incorporate into mine to maybe improve my paper. I know that this is not my last online class because I like online classes more than in-person courses and I registered for more next semester. I hope that some of the classes include something like the blogging because I like to try new things in my school career. I have to say that I enjoyed this class even though it was a bit of challenge. I tried my hardest throughout the whole entire course and found myself improving more and more as time went on.
