Online Education Review

This was my first online class, and I enjoyed it! It was nice to be able to work on the class when it was best for me! It was a challenge to stay on top of things, and there were a lot of times I forgot about stuff. If I did not have D2L reminding when things were due, I would have completely forgot about assignments. Remembering was my only struggle, mostly because I am terrible at scheduling things, and if I do not see it, I will forget. A normal class, I am reminded of stuff every time I am in class, where as in this class I always forgot until D2L reminded me. I personally will not take another online course if I do not have to, only because I am not organized enough to constantly remember. If I was more organized, most of my classes would be online!

General Education Review

I personally hate that Gen. Ed. classes are specified already. Now, I have never taken a Gen. Ed. class that I haven't somewhat enjoyed; however,  I also put all of them at the bottom of my priority list because I am trying to get into PT school and science GPA is everything. I love the idea of Gen. Ed. classes, I just wish we could pick any one we wanted. I do not like how we have to have an upper and lower division and a western, artistic form, and non western. I would love for a university to allow me to just pick any class I wanted that was not already required for my major. I would of take an intro business class, or an intro engineering class if I could have. Both of those areas are of somewhat interest to me, and I would have loved just a bit more info (just because) about either of those areas. I also would of taken more psychology classes as well. I was only required two psych classes, and I wanted to take more because, not only does psych fascinate me, it would also benefit me as a PT. I feel Gen. Ed. classes are a great idea, but they need more freedom. The only ones that should be required are Government, Comp I and II, and History. It is stupid for a student that is a business major to have to take a science with a lab to graduate. It is also stupid for an english major to have to take pre calc to graduate. The student should be allowed to pick what Gen. Ed. and elective classes he or she takes.

College Writing Review

My major is Health and Exercise Science, which means my course load is really heavy on the science side of thing. Because of my mostly science courses, I never really focused on writing. My College writing has been a huge struggle to say the least. If I have to write a paper that (Besides a lab report) that is more than three pages, I am struggling. Thankfully though I have friends that excel in writing, and they are always checking and rechecking my work. The writing center is something I am always taking advantage of as well. I know writing is very important in life, and I wish I was better at it. Maybe towards the end of college, when my semesters are not as busy, I can improve my writing skills. The feedback this class offered was very beneficial and did help to improve my writing skills, so I am thankful for that for sure. I would be lying if I said I enjoyed writing blog post, it was definitely a pain for me. Expressing my thoughts by writing is not for me. I would rather draw, read, or talk to express myself. I know I am the minority on that, but what can I do?
