Favorite and Least Favorite Things...


My favorite thing about this class was being able to work at my own pace, being able to meet new people even though this was an online class, and learn information I feel that I will actually use in my life. I like to feel in control of my work and study time so taking this class definitely allowed me to do that. I also enjoyed that even though this was an online class, we had the opportunity to meet the people in the class and get to work with them, instead of just being alone all the time. Lastly, I liked that the information we learned during the course of the semester will come to use during the rest of our time at SJSU and even into our careers and life.   However the things I liked the least was not actually having a teacher to push me to work harder.  This cannot be improved, except for if I was to take a class with an actual teacher meeting time.

What I've Learned


I have learned a lot in this class. I thought that because it was online I was not going to have to do a lot of work and get an easy A. However, this was not the case; I had to do a lot of work and actually try to get a good grade. As a result, this class has taught me not only academic lessons but life lessons as well. I learned how to space out my work and not wait until the last minute to do things, and that I should not judge a class before I know about it. As for the academic things I learned, there is quite a few.  One of the things I learned is how to examine an argument. I feel as though this will be important in my career since I will have a lot of people arguing against what I have to say; and having the skills to examine their argument and have the ability to argue effectively back will help a lot.
