Before taking this course I was really excited about what I am going to learn. And I was right! This course is not only interesting but it is also helpful. I have learned that the grade I am having right now is the reflection of my try throughout the entire semester.

For me, I think that the most helpful thing throughout this entire course was the feedback (peer review, discussion replies and professor feedback). I looked forward to any and all feedback each week. At first, I was really nervous about feedback

Personally, the most important thing I’ve learned in this course is that SNHU has many resources to help me gain success in my college career. It will benefit me to use the POWER Learning text as a resource if I need a reminder of ways to stay on track to accomplish my goals. This class put me at ease as a root builder for going back to school after many years. Having the base knowledge from this course for studying, note taking and reading is sure to be useful in Eng-122 which is my next course, due to the fact that I will need to be proficient in these areas to obtain a good

The course helped me develop my interpersonal skills, collaborating with other students, preparing for presentations and addressing the class. I gained more confidence to present myself. Initially, it used to take me 3-4 days to summarize an article. To my surprise,

It was interesting to learn about the different types of note taking. Sometimes using the same style can get boring, so trying out new formats really helped!

When designing learning outcomes and objectives, the key considerations should involve learner-focused concepts and address “What students will learn, generally at the end of a unit of study… “What students will be able to know or do, generally by the end of a course” (Palloff & Pratt, 2009, p. 6), and equal important, if it clearly communicates “the desired behavior to be achieved” (p. 11). Taking all these factors into account, the development of well-designed learning outcomes and objectives facilitate efficiency and simplicity in developing effective assessments that align with proposed course outcomes and learners increased

Being effective as an educator and instructional leader is important to the overall success and academic achievement of the students that are serviced in an educational system. There are specific resources that are necessary to achieve those academic goals as they relate to curriculum and instruction of our students, with proper planning being one.

The third topic was adult learning theory. The fourth topic was Andragogy. The fifth topic was professional development. The sixth topic was web 2.0. The final topic was technology tools. These are topics from the course.

I have learned so much in this class to prepare me for a successful college experience. There were some topics that caught my attention more than others. Such as, time and stress management, University resources, and critical thinking.
