SECOND BLOG REFLECTION: Online Community

How do you feel that you have benefited from the online community in this course?

In SKDV 10 I have benefited from an online community by reading and participating in the discussions and realizing that many students have the same fears and hesitations about taking online classes that I do. I believe over half of the class were concerned about balancing their education, personal and career.

SKDV 10: Blog Assignment

How realistic do you think it will be for you to adhere to a schedule in order to devote the time necessary to complete the required work in your online courses?   What measures will you take to ensure that this happens?


I do well with managing my schedule when I get into a consistent schedule. I am currently devoting one hour per night to online class homework and reading. After I get home from work I eat dinner with my wife. We cleanup the kitchen and usually go on a walk or do some yard work. After the walk or yard work is when I do homework.

To make sure I stay on schedule I have committed to my wife to stick to my study schedule. By committing to her she holds me accountable. Having someone else holding me accountable really helps me stick to my schedule.
