The last few weeks have been a bit crazy. Between work, school and putting my house on the market I’ve been pretty gosh darn stressed out.
This is my first experience with an online class it has been a really interesting experience with my work schedule it is a better fit for me. What can be difficult is finding the time to sit down and complete an assignment. I find that an online course forces me to much more self motivated than a traditional class.
I have learned about so many new, great resources. I had never heard of Bartelby.com or looked at a Factbook before but I have found myself looking up information that has nothing to do with school work. So many people I know (and I’m guilty of this as well sometimes!) use Google or Yahoo! to search pretty much everything. Wikipedia can’t be trusted but I know plenty of folks who get there ‘information’ from them. I try to tell them that anyone can put whatever they want on a wiki without any solid references or bibliographies to back them up but they still use it.
What else can I do but give them a little information and cross my fingers?
