Looking Back: So far, I am not super thrilled with my progress. I think I am still in a position to finish with an A, but I am not where I need to be. This is a class where all I really need is a C, its just a Gen. Ed. class to get me my diploma, but I would really like the A. My weekly routine is pretty good as long as work doesn't get in the way. It seems like the past few weeks there is always an assignment that I miss, but waking up at 4 am every morning makes it difficult to remember some things (at the end of most days I am so relieved to see my bed I can't think straight). I plan on utilizing the extra credit opportunities in the next few weeks so I think that will give me a boost. Looking Forward: I certainly need to start making some serious changes for the second half of the semester (first off, ITS ALREADY THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEMESTER????). Buckling down and getting all of the assignments done for that week is key. Extra credit is also something that I plan on u...

I have taken quite a few online classes here at OU, so I have gotten a lot of feedback and comments on discussion posts and the like. This class has definitely had some of the best teacher/student comments that I have experienced. Mrs. Gibbs feedback has been great, but I have gotten a lot of good feedback from students on ways to flesh out my posts and helps me focus on areas that I need to work on, especially on my blog posts. In regards to the feedback that I have left, I think that the feedback strategies that we have learned have come in handy throughout the semester. I do feel like I am getting a sense of who people are in the class from their blog postings, not just on their project posts, but their posts within blogger. I was pretty happy with my introduction post and I think that it does give a good sense of who I am in this moment in my life. Looking forward, I think that even though I have been happy with the feedback that I have been able to leave for my fellow students,...

So far the reading assignments are working really well. Everything is broken down enough so it is (mostly) easy for me to keep up with the class and my hectic work schedule. I think the King Yudhisthira's Horse story was my favorite so far. I had a lot of fun tweaking that story and putting a new twist on it.  At first, I was having some trouble with the class project. I was a little confused and just overall frustrated with a lot of things outside of the class. But once I hunkered down and focused I was able to use a lot of feedback from Mrs. Gibbs to make something much more pleasing to the eyes, as well as get my head around what she was actually looking for in the assignment.  Below is a art print of the churning of the ocean, which is what my project is focusing on. This was one of the first images that I found when I began researching for my project and is always the first image that pops into my head when I think about it.  The churning of the Ocean of Milk...
