Today is February 2nd and that means that 2nd chance classes, including ART 114, are now active. That being said, since the early activation of the course in January, there hasn’t been a lot of activity in the course today, and I suspect that the remaining 10 or so students will fall in one at […]
Every semester many optimistic students sign up for courses, but how many actually stay in them, and of those, how many participate? Every semester when an instructor assigns weekly discussion board activities for online or hybrid courses, it surprises me how many people begin falling away from the course. In one of my psychology courses […]
I am not quite as worried about my psychology courses as I was before. I just finished my quiz in Theories of Personality on Freud and I got a perfect score. I am beginning to feel a little better about these courses. I believe my lack of performance in the courses may be related to […]

As promised in my previous blog entry, I am going to comment on my academic life in this entry. First of all, I am a lifetime learning student. Degrees are not my primary means of organizing academics. I am not in it for the credit hours, I am in it for the experience of different […]
