Well, here I am almost halfway done with Summer 08 semester. I actually wish it would "drag-on", it goes by soo fast...oh well. My Business Communication class is pretty straightforward; do homework, take quiz. That has been my general experience in college....I am not implying anything negative...that's just the way its been...but it works for me. Information Competency has been a surprise! I thought it was going to be a cruise to the finish line...I am wrong so far. This is the only one of my classes that has challenged me to leave the house and go find the answers I need. Today, I took a trip to the Main Library in downtown. Beside the sights and sounds of the city, I learned how a library is MUCH MORE than a building with books inside...it is a kingdom of information...yeah I said it.
Though this is not the first time I take an online class, it is the first time a take multiple classes online simultaneously. I do miss the human contact (in the classroom) and the actual interaction of a class discussion, but overall, I am enjoying taking college courses from home (no parking battles!). I am convinced that I will continue to take online classes when possible.
...and the battle continues...

Your comment about the library being a kingdom of information, is right. Way much more than just books.
When driving past a library, in the past, I wouldn't think twice, but now I've got a new found respect for them.
Loved your post - especially that you incorporated your experiences with other courses. I am a huge supporter of the online learning environment. If the class is set up to be interactive, you can actually have a good feeling of human interaction. I'm glad you enjoyed your library experience.
