First day of semester today. One of my online classes started today, the other will begin in October. They are 8 weeks long whereas on campus classes meet for 16 weeks. This month is Childcare Management. I hate it. I registered for it in December, but dropped it along with the other online course, Infant and Toddler Development.
I wish I hadn’t, but things were bad back then.
This class has a different teacher then the campus version, so that makes me less apprehensive. The other teacher is fine, but she assigned group projects, and I HATE group projects. I hate this class because it has nothing to do with teaching. It is purely and specifically for people who want to be administrators. That is to say, managers and I hate management.
It is a lot of tedious work and I feel it is an unfair burden to place on students who want to be teachers. I can accept that understanding an administrator’s perspective can be helpful to a teacher, but that insight can be gained by talking to one, or reading a book. I shouldn’t have to turn in 500 points worth of assignments. But whatever. Just gotta rock and roll deal with it. Not planning on putting too much effort in, though.
The online stuff is pretty simple. Have to log in five days a week and post in the discussion forum four days a week or lose points. There are 10 assignments plus weekly discussion questions. I wish the teacher would let us skip buying the book and just have everything based on her “lectures”, but no such luck. Now, I have to buy a $200 book again.
I sold it when I dropped the class before cos I was hoping I would not have to take the course later, but it is still required, so now I am feeling dumb.
ASL level 3 starts Thursday night. I am looking forward to it. Have not been practicing, though, so I feel bad. I have forgotten a lot since December, and it will definitely show. Gonna practice as much as I can this week. \
Hopefully. Been saying that all summer.
Not much else going on, just glad to be back in classes. Need things to keep occupied so I don’t focus on despair. Now, I just need to find a job.
