Assignments - First Impressions

 


    Woohoo! I am closing in on the last day of my last first week of college! What a wonderful feeling. Anyways, with this course, I am fairly familiar with the layout and the course expectations. It is a lot less daunting the second time around, and things sure make a lot more sense. Of course, my only true experience with a class like this, is well, the other section of the course. I am mainly excited about the new content material. My favorite part about the course is how forgiving it is. There is a lot of margin for error, there are grace periods, and there is extra credit. There is always a way to make up a grade and improve our writing abilities. My favorite part of taking the course is that my grade wasn't necessary based upon the content of my writing, but Laura is especially concerned with ensuring that we are improving, even without the motivation of a grade. Something I am looking forward to trying in the future is getting ahead of the course. I noticed that some of my peers had knocked out weeks, or even months, worth of work in the first couple of weeks. It was truly impressive what sort of work people were able to create, and I am jealous of their abilities to do their coursework and manage their time so efficiently.

Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher

  Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher     Hey everyone! My name is Mikayla Chandler. I am a secondary language arts education major going into my senior year here at OU. In addition to being a full-time student, I am also in my first year of coaching wrestling. Although I am a coach on a team of boys and girls, I primarily focus on my attention on the ladies on the team. Although I chose to not wrestling in college, I spent the majority of my life around wrestling and was competitive from ages 10 to 18. I was born and raised here in Norman, so it has always been a dream of mine to obtain a degree from OU. I have one dog but would certainly love to get more. Her name is Verona and she is a Lab/Pitbull mix that showed up one day and never left. One of my major interests is in American Sign Language; I took two years in college and I wish I could afford to take more classes. I love knowing another language, it makes me feel more connected to the worl...

Week Thirteen: Back up and Review

  Thoughts:     Some of my favorite videos on the internet are Crash Course videos. I LOVE these videos as a classroom tool. I really enjoy learning more about history through different avenues, and I really feel that Crash Course History has some of the most accessible lessons on the internet. I learned that basically anywhere there is a civilization, there is likely to be a historical flood associated with that civilization. Almost every major civilization we know of has been ravished by a flood, and they always see it as symbolic in some sort of lore. This is my last blog post for the semester and my last post for this class ever. I have taken this class twice now, so I am sort of attached to this class in a weird way since it has been part of my daily routine for the last year, practically. Overall, as my last post, I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have this course as an option for my Gen-ed course work.  Video:    Flood Legends of the Americas...
