When it came to writing papers, I told my daughter, who just received her BA in Global Affairs, to use her background knowledge and observations of human behaviour for guidance, but at the bottom line to just make something up!  Basically, that's what we tell young writers when they are faced with at times bizarre writing prompts on standardized tests. It seems to have worked since she did graduate with a 3.0 average.  |
Kaz, seriously, I have adored online classes up til this point. It's just they didn't adapt this one well to an online environment. I don't know if they were sloppy in taking the course material from the physical classroom and didn't revise it, or whether they just didn't think it through properly. Personally, I think Speech as a required class for an office administration program is kinda out there - but in a physical environment, yes, I can see it. However, in an online course? No. I think they should have left it out of the online curriculum or at least made it an elective.
For your Master's classes, you should be ok online.
