1003 Assignments

I have never taken a class with such a unique course structure. What makes it so unique in my eyes is the level of independence expected of us here. Personally, I am a bit of a procrastinator so I hope to take this type of course and use it to help me be more proactive in my studies. Clearly, I am still procrastinating by making this post the evening it is due... I need more practice.

Probably the best thing about the structure of this class is that we only need a certain number of points to finish and there are many opportunities to get extra points. That is really encouraging! The extra work is not labor intensive and includes things I would be interested in doing on my own. For example, I would be interested in commenting extra on people's posts either way, but getting points for it is icing on the cake. I wouldn't say I am social, but talking to people online is much easier than in person.

Ultimately, this is an online class so the fact that it has such a unique structure is not surprising, but it is much more involved than any other online class I have taken. I feel like this is a class I can really learn in. I can't just breeze through the assignments like I would in some other class with just multiple choice quizzes every week. I already have an interest in mythology, so I'm glad this course will hold my weak attention span.
