Reflection Essay # 4

I do believe I was successful in carrying out the course assignments. What prevented me and discouraged me much of the time was the confusing directions and lack of examples on what was being asked for by the course professors. I spent quite a bit of time each week trying to figure out what the directions meant. The wording was not clear and required reading and re-reading the directions and loooking over the weekly overviews ass well as exchanging e-mails with fellow students.
I would have liked to have had more time to gather a complete assessment on technology use at my campus because I feel that the STaR Chart data on my campus is misleading and paints a rosier picture than what is reflected in reality.
The amount of reading was tedious in the sense that there were so many article that we had to post comments on and in some cases the articles did not sem academic in nature but more commercial. It also seemed that I was one of the few students who was going back and posting a last byte comment after other students had responded to my comments.
I think this course has great potential to excite and enlighten future administrators, but as it is currently structured, all in all, it is not a pleasant five weeks.
