Unit 3 post

The environment of online learning has both pros and cons that are noted. The flexibility was a major decision making point when pursuing my education. I had been living a “third shift” life for numerous years and needed the opportunity to attend seminar/class late in the evening and to complete assignments in the hours I was awake and functional. Not many libraries are open 24 hours a day to complete research in!

I have always been a self-motivating, self-directing learner and actually prefer this atmosphere to the “structure” of in-class learning. This is the introvert side of my personality trying to exert itself!

One experience from my first term, which helped to bond the class together (and is taking place here in the blogs) was sharing photos in the “get to know you” area of the first unit. That helped to recognize who was writing/saying what, and give an idea on how to take the wording used in posts. I have continued the “friendship” with a number of people that were in that first course, and consider some to be, “the best!”

Welcome to my CC II Blog! I hope this experience turns out to be enjoyable for all in the class and I look forward to getting to know each of you through this experience!

Please feel free to leave comments as you please. I am thick skinned so don't worry about hurting my feelings. Critisism is a good thing so long as it is constructive.

Paper Ideas

I am hoping to narrow down my ideas for paper today. I will be checking the available information on breast cancer and stem cell research, in hopes that will help me to make a decision.
