Reaching The Halfway Mark

So far, I've been acclimating myself into the two classes I'm currently taking this summer session with the new school.

One is the web essentials course (required), which is very interactive and the most time consuming so far. The other is the intercultural communications course (also required). It has already become a source of contention. The professor seems to think that we students should focus on the class 24/7. There was a bit of anarchy when the university activated all classes on the first day and we discovered on the syllabus that by Thursday noon of that week we were instructed to read close to 200 pages and submit a 400 word essay using points from the book. After a major coup d’état by us students, the professor agreed to extend the deadline for the next week's project.

Meanwhile, the other class is much more laid back, our discussion board posts are more free flowing, less fearful. For extra credit, I've already begun and submitted another blog through WordPress. I may end up using it to switch over there someday. More on that in the future (wink).
