Massive open online courses (MOOC) were introduced in 2008 by Dave Cormier. The original aim of MOOCs was to open up education and offer free access to University education for as many students as possible. They are generating a considerable attention and high interest from higher education institutions. They are viewed as an extension to current online approaches in terms of access (Hoxby, C 2014). The focus of MOOCs is to provide free, cutting edge education that reduces the cost of University
Everyone would love to work as efficiently as possible but at times we feel groggy, tired and often afraid to pursue what we want. A course I would love to take is a Self-Wellness course. This course is centered around physical and mental components that affect our day-to-day life often impairing us from our true potential. To keep this course interactive and real to day-to-day life students will conduct group lectures as to what they think success is and in turn define their own version of success
Greetings Professor Friedman, I am reaching out to you regarding my grade in the UW 1020 course taught by Professor Marcus. I have contacted my professor regarding this issue over 24 hours ago and have not received any response.With an academic scholarship on the line I decided to escalate my concerns. In my email, copied below, I requested that my Professor justify and hopefully reconsider my final grade in the course. The Professor noted in the syllabus that she "found the assigning of grades and/or
growing number of college courses that we will be taking this and next year, a course such as this has benefited me an improved my course-taking skills. These skills are extremely useful in any college class and will assist in my development and education now and in the future. These skills and lessons have improved my studying, my work habits, my mental attitude, among many other characteristics, and these skills have improved my schoolwork in general. If I had a course such as this my freshman
The introduction to sociology course this semester turned out to be a very intriguing class. I had prior knowledge and connection to the subject, but still I thoroughly enjoyed the class and feel that I learned and developed further knowledge into the subject of sociology. Many of the topics, discussions, and assignments I really enjoyed doing, and I am glad that the course turned out to be as great as it was. Due to this, I choose to not write about any activities or topics that I didn’t enjoy learning
During my undergraduate studies, I took a nutrition and dietetics course. This course was designed to teach students the importance of proper nutrition, which foods were considered healthy and which foods were unhealthy. We learned how to make meal plans, grocery list, meal preparation, which foods were good for certain health issues and which foods to avoid. During this course, I learned principals to promote healthy eating and the prevention of diet related disease conditions. I have always been
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS Tree Management Program One of the weaknesses of the golf course in my opinion are the trees. It quickly became evident that too many trees have been planted across the golf course. As already mentioned in this report, the trees are impacting growing conditions, encroaching into shot corridors, and obscuring vistas. Unfortunately, many of the trees are also poor species for use on a golf course. A longer range tree management program should be initiated to evaluate the existing
learning and the dissemination of what we’ve learned. In each day of our lives we learn something new to add to our list of skills and knowledge. When I first entered university, I thought the writing courses were useless and just a waste of time since we all can write. Later, however, I realized how those courses are beneficial in improving our critical thinking and communication skills not only the style of writing. Body At the beginning of this semester, I had little knowledge about the APA writing
Previously, at my other university I took a health and safety course. In that class we learned about staying healthy on a personal level. Personal health is a form of individual care. Some of the main points we learned about included; proper hygiene, drug abuse and awareness, diseases and prevention, and safety guidelines for work. It was more of a general health course to inform the students on staying healthy. On the other hand, our current course will be focused on community health care and services
For example in college how all-nighters will take place,and become sort of a routine. This course also taught me that if you procrastinate, then it will get you nowhere. So in my mind i have set a new type of rule against the procrastination since i have done it so many times. Obviously when we had started learning the first day i had wished that
