I thought that the first week was interesting. Honestly though, I'm not really excited about this class. I think that this weeks assignment was pretty easy and will be easy to build on, but I think that as the semester goes on many of us will struggle to build on what we've previously learned because of inadequate time to process the previous items we learned. Hopefully I'm wrong about this and only time will tell.
One thing that I thought was interesting was the removal of the requirement to work with another individual. I, for one, was sad to see this requirement removed since I think it really helps working with other people because if you get stuck it's really difficult to work through something without being able to talk it out with another person. Unfortunately you can't make everyone happy, at least the option to work with someone is still available.
Thank you for the post John.
ReplyDeleteThe dropping of the requirement was due to the fact that some people in the class are only part time students and are not available during the week to meet with their groups.
I think this class has a lot of potential, so my suggestion is to give it a little bit of time and see if it fits for you.
Have a good day,
