Last Post of the Semester!

1. What I have Learned.

I have learned a lot this semester. I have learned technical things about management but overall I have been able to retain skills that will  help me in the future. Since this is the first time this class was given to us as an online class I think that the learning outcomes will improve in the future. 

2.  Improvements.

I think that having class time once a month would help. This could help the class bond and get to know eachother a little bit. Most of us have come to WIT because we enjoy the class sizes and we like being in class to learn. Personally, I would have never chosen an online class because I know it is not my learning style. I think in the future you should give the students a choice whether they want to be a part of this online class rather then forcing it apon them as part of the curriculum (I know that Prof. Hafford might not be part of this decision, but i'm just saying!)

Have a nice winter break!

How to avoid the end-of-semester pile-up?

I am almost completely positive there isn't a way to avoid the end-of-semester pile-up. It's true, at the end of the semester is when we have learned the most in each class, and that is when teachers decide to put all of our new knowledge to the test. Truthfully, I don't think its a bad thing. It's nice when we can pull all our new knowledge together and put it to good use.

Finals are all during the same week, so no, there is no way to spread that out either.

Procrastination is the only way I see to help avoid this pile up. For most classes, we are aware of projects that are going to be due towards the end of the semester quite early on, yet, we all choose to wait until the end to start it or get it done. It's like how we all decide to post our assignments on thursday rather then get them done early. Or why I am posting this blog 5 hours before it is due. Its just the college life, and I can personally say I've gotten used to it.

Christmas Lights

So, School is coming to an end. During thanksgiving break me and my father always put up christmas lights around our house. My mom and brother never seem to be around to help us, so we have made a tradition out of it. First, we have to go up and bring down all the christmas decorations and lights down from the attic. We bundle up and begin our outdoor fiesta! We put lights all over the bushes and such and have to figure out how to make is all work with only two plugs available. We have extension cords everywhere, i'm surprised we don't blow up the whole neighborhood. And there is always that one string of lights that has half of the bulbs out. By the end of it we are both frustrated out of our mind, but it always looks nice, and for the rest of the winter we get to admire our beautiful lights out front.
