Honestly, I have heard from other people about this course and they did not enjoy the three discussion blogs with a 12 hour requirement difference, along with the three 100 word comments on other classmate's pages. They actually described it as, "Omg it's so hard and tedious, I have to write like 1000 words a week." But on a personal level... that was the best part about this online course! I feel like this course allows us to have a voice through our posts, and we get to learn through other people's voices as well. I mean yeah, my least favorite thing was the whole 12 hour thing, but it really isn't a big deal.. I can wait 12 hours, not a problem.. But it was pretty easy to me to manage the discussion posts and comments.
Plus, "The Blogging Prof" is so sweet, and this might be a weird thing to say to an online professor that I have never met before but she is very 'approachable' in a sense. She is very understanding, and I don't think there's anything I would change about this course. It's a joy and a challenge at the same time.
Hey! Awesome post! This class definitely taught me a lesson about time management! Hopefully I will stick to it for this coming fall. With the whole 12 hour thing at first I was annoyed by it but then it became a routine for me. As for the people complaining about it, they're lucky they aren't writing an essay every week like people taking English courses over the summer! I must agree with you that our teacher is very "approachable". If you have a question she answers back as soon as possible and in the friendliest way. She post reminders about big assignments and if something is really important she does not hesitate to repeat it a few times. Anyway great job on this post!
