I never thought I would say this about a summer class, but I’m kind of sorry this class is coming to an end. It has opened my eyes to realize how much libraries are needed in every community. My previous experiences with libraries were simply going in, checking out a book, and leaving. I think the assignment we had where we had to review what services and tools are provided at a public library opened a lot of doors for me. I also learned what research really is really about.
This was not my first online class, but I wish it would have been. This class should be a requirement for all new college students. I actually got to know my “classmates” better and had more interaction with them than I do in a traditional classroom. For a class like this, the online format was wonderful! I could do my studying and research whenever I had time available. Some of my other classes would not work out well with an online format, as I would need face-to-face communication with an instructor and other students. At times an online class is harder than a traditional class because we really have to stay on top of things and have great time management skills. If a workshop was offered for this class I probably would attend just to meet people, but I don’t think it is necessary for learning purposes. Our instructor provided excellent communication and learning tools. I appreciate all of the support from both my instructor and fellow students!
