I feel this class has given me an excellent view of the research process and how important it is to know what resources are available. It also instills the need to organize your thoughts and material, which ultimately makes your task easier. We began doing research papers since elementary school with very little understanding of how the process works or how to simplify the process. The average person will spend 12 to 16 years in school and will be required to do research of some sort. I realize there are many books and online information available to get the answers you need, but what happens to the person who doesn’t know what questions to ask? This course has taught me not to be fearful of doing a research paper. It gives unending detailed information for every assignment. I feel certain this class would have benefited me greatly in my earlier years in school and feel this class will certainly benefit me with my continuing education.
Excellent class, Ms. Laney.
Yes, this is my first online class. I must say that at first I was apprehensive, not knowing what to expect. I think the online discussions are great. Strange that none of us will ever meet, but I have to say that this has truly been the friendliest class I have ever been in. Clearly we all tend to encourage one another and help if we can . . . very rare these days.
What I like about the online class: Everyone is working on a project and we have the opportunity to learn from each other through our discussions and interaction. We share our experiences both positive and sometimes negative. I feel this is important because it tells us all that we are in this together. I feel the assignments are well paced and, we know we can contact you easily enough if we have a question. I don’t feel pressured so far. It’s been a great experience.
As for my “a-ha” moment…I had that moment yesterday when I didn’t “think” I was at the right spot, but rather “knew” I was at the right spot for Project Gutenberg. It felt good.

Thank you for your words and compliments. What makes the class is good students who put their best effort to complete the tasks with enthusiasm and respect for others.
