This semester I had the opportunity to take 2 courses I was very nervous but felt I could and was up for the challenge. Last semester almost took me out, so this go round I decided to start early gathering my information and getting ahead on my readings. Even with trying to read ahead I still up being behind, and this is something that I have to continue working on. My courses consisted of 5313 Creating Significant Learning environments and 5389 Developing Effective Professional Learning. I can honestly say with the readings and videos presented though out the classes really helped me within both courses. It was a little tough because assignments that were due for 5389, I had to complete 5313 assignments first to even understand what was going on in 5389. Taking these two classes was a challenge when it came to that but if I have to say so myself I did pretty good with going back and forward.
This go round my community learning group got split up meaning two of the members were in one course 5313 and the other three were in course 5389. I was very fortunate to still be apart of both groups because here is where I got the most help and help that I really needed because I was indeed confused. 5313 Learning community group had 3 members we called ourselves the 3E’s Elda, Ericka, and Eddricka (myself) we meet every Wednesday at 7pm on zoom meet sometimes our meeting would go for an hour sometimes longer either way we had a great meeting every time. Our weekly meetings were on point we made sure to stay on top of our game. We all shared duties with keeping the group going. Keeping in touch through personal emails and via text. If I have to say so myself, I really enjoyed our group it was small but well organized and put together and we got the job done. Even though we’ve been connected since beginning our ADL program we’ve grown so much. This semester I really had to push myself forward due to many hardships, but I stayed focused and kept going. I tried my hardest to submit all assignments as well as discussions on time along with responded to other members in my class. I am so grateful to have a Professor like Dr. Still, she broke it down and when I didn’t understand the assignment all I had to do was send an email and she would respond faster than fast which I truly appreciate her for that. Even when I caught the flu this semester which almost took me out, I still survived.
Overall, this semester I am truly proud of myself, and I grade myself for course 5313 an 89. I gave myself this score because I turned in one assignment late and pass the due date even though Dr. Still took it after the due date due to me having the flu but from this I’ve learned to try to get my work completed before time because waiting to the last minute is definitely not it. I’ve really enjoyed this course and have learned so much more that I can take away. I’m forever grateful for the things I can learn and take back with me to teach the students I come in contact with.
