Reply to 16 Qs and a Final Paper

I understand totally about what Tim was saying. I think it would be a lot easier for a teacher to post what we have to do and when it is due and be done with it. Easier for everyone. BUT.... is easy what we need. Is easy how we learn. Lets face it, we learn the most when we fail. When I get a D on a paper, I learn a lot about what is expected and what I should have done. Getting As just for showing up doesn't help me much. I'm earning a Masters degree here and there should be difficult times. This isn't something we just do in that extra time we have. I do most of my work when the kids are sleeping. Typically it is late at night and I miss out on sleep just so I can do this work. That means something to me. If I just had 2 hours a day with no responsibilities and was acing a class, that wouldn't mean anything to me. At the end of this course I will get a grade and I will know that whatever it is, I earned it and I worked for it. That is really satisfying. I've had tons of courses where I breezed through learning nothing new and just spilling back at them what they give me. This is different. This class reminds me more of my Philosophy classes (my other major). I get to think and discuss how I feel about things. I see how others feel about things. And it isn't just about right and wrong. I can disagree with the teacher all day and I don't think that will cause me to fail. Try that in some regular courses. I enjoy the class. Yes, I feel like I read and type a lot. Yes, I feel tied to the computer at times. But that is a sacrifice. Nothing worth doing is easy. Or is it Nothing easy is worth doing. Either way I can appreciate how this class is actually worth doing.
