Reflection 1

So far this online course has been very interesting, and informative. To be honest, because this is my first online course, I had no idea what to expect. Would it work out for me ? Would it be interesting ?
Well so far, I know it has. I never realized that there was so much attached to libraries. Documents, online resources, the Dewey decimal system, information technology were things I was unaware of, until this course.
Working with computers isn't new to me, however, hearing terms such as blogging, and discussion boards, had me feeling uncertain, only because they were areas I hadn't ventured into before. Now that I'm actually doing them, it gets better each time.
Like with anything in life, something new, and unfamiliar seems unsurmountable initially, but the more you get into it, the easier, it becomes.
I'll definitely take another online class, in the future. The online system, once you get used to it, is very easy to use.
One of the things I like about the course, is having the flexibility to work at any hour. That definitely helps me a lot.

I'm glad you are enjoying your first online class experience. It can be fun if the course is set up well. I took my whole masters degree program online, and now I am starting a 2nd masters program through another online program at CSU. The opportunities are endless especially for busy, working adults who might have family responsibilities and not have much time to get to class on a certain time schedule.

You are doing excellent with blogging and discussion forums! Thanks for sticking around even in unfamiliar grounds!
