I'm very excited to have you all enrolled in LA151 and to serve as your instructor this semester. It was great to meet you all today! I truly believe that this is the beginning of your own personal journey towards greater academic success! Through your involvement and active participation in this class, I am confident that you will walk away with at least two things:
1) A better understanding of yourself
2) Develping skills and abilities that will assist you in your academic pursuits at AAU
Blog Entry Assignments -
Any time a blog entry is assigned for homework, each of you is responsible for coming to this BLOG and posting a comment in response to the most recent blog posting (I will post each initial blog entry that you will respond to on a weekly basis). Yes, this does mean you will be able to read what your classmates also write but this is completely intentional. I firmly believe you all have a great deal to learn from one another. This learning will come not only from our classroom discussions but also from what you share in your comments and responses to the questions posted in the blog...
Blog Entry # 1 - What are your thoughts about being enrolled in this course? What are you hoping to gain from the experience of being enrolled in LA151? Name one thing that occurred last semester that likely led to academic struggles. If you could travel back in time, what might you have done differently? (Please respond to each question completely and thoughtfully).
It is expected that you will post your response to this blog posting by 12midnight on Sunday, February 5, 2012. Your response can be as long or as short as you choose...but you do need to respond fully to the questions from above!
I'll see you all on Tuesday!
