This week was crazy! \u00a0My class workload was so much greater this week due to vague instructions. \u00a0I was not alone either; many of my peers were off base with the assignment and like me, probably spent way too much time on both major portions. \u00a0As I was getting into page 7 of my “5 point” assignment, it occurred to me that I might be doing it wrong so I asked the teacher. \u00a0What she wanted was in no way reflected in the assignment instructions, which called for a unit level of study, or about a month’s worth of class instruction. \u00a0With this new information, I quickly finished, but my peers turned in rather large reports. \u00a0For the other assignment, a group assignment, we were asked to create all kinds of stuff and put it on a Wikipage. \u00a0None of us had done this before, and our teacher didn’t even know what a Wikipage was (so why assign it?) \u00a0The assignment was hardly trivial — I think my group put in over 70 hours between us on this. \u00a0We did get full credit, but it could have been a much easier assignment.<\/p>\n
Next week is the last week of class, and the workload is about 4x of last week. \u00a0As a result, I’m taking the entire week off from work. \u00a0Even so, I’ll probably work six straight 10-12 hour days just to complete this class on time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
