Module7+reflection

==//Reflect on how you perceive yourself as an online learner? Are you well-prepare to be an online leaner? Tell us about what you need to improve in order to be a successful online learner. //==

Description:
Through these two weeks, I read the three requirement chapters and How Students Develop Online Learning Skills article. Also, I read my friends’ posts in the discussion thread.

Impact:
I think that I was a good online learner according to my past online courses and until the middle of this semester. Now, I feel that I have a much of pressure because my courses are conflicting with each other. This conflicting started three weeks ago when my instructor gave us weekly quizzes until this current week that this thing ruins my time schedule and lead me to find a difficulty in organizing my time a gain. That course is face to face but we took the quizzes in online manner. I try to do my best to face these difficulties and not to be late in submitting my assignments in their due dates.

Now, I learn from the situation that I face and I’m sure that I will overcome the same situation if it happens a gain. My problem is that I started reading materials of my courses at the beginning of each week that starts with new module, but now I know that this way will not help me in overcoming a situation like that one because no one can predict what situations will face during pass of his or her semester. Thus, my current plan is to prepare for a class through reading its materials before the new week begin. I’m thinking to read all my classes’ materials in certain days before beginning of new week and letting the new week for doing assignments. As an international student, I think being prepared for classes weekly is the best solution for my situation.

Through my reading the required chapters and my friends’ posts, it helps me to know what the successful online learner is, what you should do to be a successful online learner and what you should avoid.

Intent:
I plan to change my current strategy that I begin reading and doing my assignment in the beginning of each week. My new strategy is to be prepared for the classes through reading the requirement materials before starting of each new week.
