      Most initial posts are personal opinion/social and so don't generally get high ratings according to the rubric. I like to give you the first couple of posts as low pressure intros so that you can get the hang of the rubric and my feedback.
  • I did that wrong too

      my hope is that you will push through your feelings and look to see what insight you can gather that will help you succeed as a student and as an educator.

      There are guiding questions for these reflections that i don't see in your posts for this module and you need to self assess.

  • Right now I am very frustrated. I have tried very very hard to listen to all of Alex’s comments throughout the semester and make changes based on her criticisms. My course when reviewed needed a lot of work but she expressed being frustrated that I didn’t take her advice when I am always careful to do that. I am not sure if I misunderstood or maybe it was the way things were worded. She had mentioned changing the names of my module’s during one of the previous assignments but in my course review she said she was frustrated because I didn’t listen about changing names of discussions and forums, when in fact, I changed the names of the modules like we had discussed. We never discussed discussion or forum names. I think these issues are issues that need to be addressed when learning about teaching online. Without having a face to face discussion misconceptions are not always cleared up right away and could cause problems later.
