Post Two

As this semester is coming to and end, I realized that the hybrid class is harder than it seems. Although we have the due dates at hand, it is hard to keep up with everything that is due. I highly recommend, as stated in my last post, to keep a calendar or outline of what is due. I would not only do it for the hybrid class, but for the rest of your schedule, too. I recommend keeping a calendar because it is easy to mix up due dates with other courses. An online class is about staying responsible and maintaining productivity without any instruction from a teacher. If you lack common sense or have major issues with the computer, I don't think this class is for you. The Angel website is pretty self-explanatory, but if you're too lazy to look throughout it, then your chance of succeeding is lowered. Another way to stay organized and up-to-date with assignments is by asking a fellow classmate what he or she is doing for a particular assignment. This will provide a starting point with ideas. Usually, in a writing class, the teacher provides examples for assignments, but in a hybrid class, it isn't as simple. It is up to you to complete the assignments solely and individually. This doesn't mean, however, that brainstorming with another student, or even asking the instructor for help, is unaccepted.
