Professor Watkins did a wonderful job
balancing out his demands and expectations of the students’ progress in this
course along with understanding that the students participating are all adults
and have families and schedules that sometimes may not allow us to meet every
deadline of every assignment. The
professor gave great feedback and was patient with the students allowing them
to self-correct some of the issues and problems students had with support. The professor’s lines of communication were
always open and inviting.
My perceived value of the course was that this
course was the beginning me getting back acclimated to a school setting, trying
to learn something new to better myself and progress to high level positions within my current profession or outside my
current profession to better my way of life and my families way of life in years
to come.
The negative aspect of this course, I
would say is that some of the assignments are a bit tedious. I do understand that there are some concepts
and procedures that the students should learn but some of the assignments were
a bit long or there were many steps to complete an assignment. Also the price of the Brain program in my
opinion was a bit much even though, we are supposed to use this throughout the duration
of our master’s program.
Positive aspects of this course, I would
say has and is a great experience for me.
This course has allowed me to develop some perspective about going back
to school after several years of earning my bachelor’s degree. Some of the assignments have allowed me to
reflect on many aspects of the journey I have been on in my lifetime. This course has made me reflect on how my way
of thinking was in high school and college vs my way of thinking today. This course was a good introduction to returning
back to college and getting acclimated to adjusting my schedule at home to be
able to keep up with the assignments. I
have run into some road blocks from time to time with keeping up with my
children’s extra-curricular activities such as their practices and games. All in all I have had a good experience with
learning something new for a subject area I am interested in.
Thank you Dr. Watkins for your input,
hard work and understanding.
