As a reminder, I&#8217;m Susan Lee and I&#8217;m taking courses post graduate to attain credits in mostly science offerings for a job reclassification. I struggled previously in online Chemistry, so I am taking this course in hopes of improvement.<\/p>\n<p>My learning style is multi-modal, so I think this is generally a strength for online type courses. My learning styles that were weak (aural) aren&#8217;t especially useful to online learning, so that is also positive. Having some experience with the blackboard online system provided some exposure for expectations<\/p>\n<p>I continue to struggle with time management. This week is especially a challenge because I&#8217;m on travel and using a hotel computer and don&#8217;t have all my source material. The material was not made available until I after I left and I failed to anticipate what I might need. As I travel every few weeks, this will continue to be a problem. It also created surprises for me in terms of the requirements (I didn&#8217;t get and don&#8217;t have my passcode for example). So, instead of being ahead of the curve, I&#8217;m behind. This is consistent with starting strong and then getting discouraged.<\/p>\n<p>So, this is a question for others. Do any of you travel a lot and how do you handle this struggle? Do you have any tips for me? Also, any tips about getting discouraged when you hit a bump in the road!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Susan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello to my course mates and to those in the other section.
