At the beginning of the class, we were asked to set goals. Here are the three goals I set for myself as well as my outcomes, as reflected on at the end of the class:
1. Develop a better understanding of geology -- I had a surface understanding of all the topics, but I believe that through visual learning in our ePortfolios, collaboration on wiki study pages, and constant readings in our textbooks I have a much better understanding of geology.
2. Time management -- It was difficult at times balancing travel, work, and the three online classes I'm taking, but I don't think that my grades suffered for it. At the beginning of the course, we set up a daily schedule and I found that very helpful to stick to when I would be overwhelmed. I find that having a plan and sticking to it really helps with time management.
3. Utilize the resources available to me -- I found the group projects and online discussion boards extremely helpful in furthering my understanding of the material. Through group projects, I was able to improve my collaboration and teamwork skills. I also found that the online discussions about studying/ePortfolios helped my peers and me better our work and understanding.
