Online Learning (OL)

Okay, so I am taking a class online this month to squeeze all of my credits it to graduate spring 2011. I'm taking Introduction to Theology (again). Yes, I say again because I failed it the first time I took it in the fall of 2009. At first when I discovered that I had failed the class and would have to take it again in order to graduate, I was upset. I have to take a class that I didn't like very much a second time, I'd have to pay for it a second time, and it messed up my four year plan to graduation. Although, having to take this class again did cost more money than I wanted to spend for my education, and it did kind of through my class schedule of balance, it didn't totally ruin my four year plan to graduate like I had thought it would. And, I actually like the class this time. I like the professor (I wasn't too fond of the professor I had the first time I took the class), I like our selection of books we are to read (so far), and it's online (which could be a positive or a negative component for me- I have decided yet).

So anyway...I am learning quite a bit and it's only the second day of class. I thought I'd post some of the, what I think, are interesting thoughts from class. Some of these thoughts will be my own, while others will be from my classmates and professor. I will of course make note of thoughts and what not that is not my own and all that jazz. After all, I wouldn't want credit to not be given where credit is due.

P.s. Something I've learned from this experience is to asj yourself "what can I learn from this" and/or "where shall I go from here."
