I would like to start of with a disclaimer; I am a terrible writer and I dislike writing. My only hope for the class is just to pass.
I know I have quite a bit to learn about writing, but unfortunately it was taught to me many times before and did not stick. The rules for math and science seem to be plastered all over my brain, but for some reason all the rules and what not for English and writing just cannot find their adhesive.
Last semester I had three online classes. My experience in two of them was not as bad as I was expecting. The third how ever was a nightmare. The first two were my Microbiology and my Composition 1 class. I got through those with a "B" and "C" respectively. I was very glad to get the "C" in comp, as I had failed it twice before (yes, I am that bad.) I really should have gotten and "A" in micro, but I was putting most of my focus on my comp class just praying that I could pass it. The third on was Fundamentals of Business Administration. I had gone into the Lasso Office looking for one more class to get me to full time status. This was all they were able to find me. The informed me it was pretty much a "blow off" class and would be and easy grade, WRONG. It was an eight week course from hell. In that eight weeks we four assignments per week, a book we had to read and do a report on (I am a slow reader as well) and a presentation of that report. I happened to finish the book with just three days left to do the report. Nevertheless, I got a very bad grade on it. The other thing was that he expected us to take a quiz and final and did not get the lecture videos up until two days before the final. If this had been my only class that semester I think I could have done better, but having all that piled on top of Micro, Comp 1, Stat and working full time was a bit much for me to handle.
