What did I learn from this class?
I learned all about the different ways that we can communicate through non verbal means. Communication is so much more than just speech and what we say. I learned that fear is the greatest motivating factor of people because fear grips people and leads them to do things that they would never do.
On a non-academia level, I learned never to take another online class. At first, I thought an online class might be fun, not going to class and not meeting people. But taking an online class is actually a lot of work. It was not fun having an online class because I never got to meet any of the people in my class except the group I was assigned. I would have enjoyed the class more if we could have switched groups so we could meet more people. Taking an online class is something I could never do again because I get lazy and this class made my laziness come out even more.
I agree that this class has taught me new ways of communication. Sometimes it is difficult to communicate just through email or text messaging was another way too. I also had the same mentality as you, no class and no meeting people; little did we know how much group work was involved! As much as I enjoyed working with my group, I really wished we did switch around to meet new people in our classes. But then again, it would be a hassle to get everyone’s contact information and also the introduction phase. I guess there are pros and cons to having new groups. I understand your last comment; I just let my blogs slip towards the end of the week too. An online class definitely gets the lazy out of us! :P
