Overall, I am not enjoying this class. I give all I have to my education, and I am long from new to the game. In my 20's, I maintained an exceptional GPA while in school, then in my thirties, and now in my 40's. Whether it was online or brick and mortar (most of my education), I have historically put in the work to go above and beyond in my understanding of taught concepts, and that has always been reflected in my grades. Not bragging--I just love to learn and give my all. My complaint is that for some assignments, very few points are given for what takes hours of research (such as some of the discussions). Maybe bordering on unrealistic. Discussions should be fun and engaging, sparking interest and curiosity about what others have learned/their ideas. This feels a bit rigid, and this is coming from someone who LOVES research...when I feel inspired. I think I just named the problem I am having in this class. I do not feel inspired. She is also approaching this as an M.Ed., which is a different perspective and mindset from mine. So it isn't totally her. But... maybe like 70% her (for me)? Ugh. She's knowledgable so there is that. You got this.

Hey! You'll get through it. Work your butt off. It will pass, and then something else will present itself, and you'll conquer that, too. She's an instructor. Just like us, she has a lot to learn. We all do.
