UNE class----UGH!
Hey ladies....I miss seeing you guys in my new (and last) UNE class...Lynds-Are you taking a course right now???...I know Ms. Cin is DONE--lucky girl....I was really concerned when I got my instructor and saw that this is her first time teaching an online UNE class...It turns out that I was correct in my "bad feeling"...Firstly, I only got 4 pts for the first week of discussion (we only had to introduce ourselves, how bad could it have been-ha!)...I responded 8 times during the course of the week....I'll get over a "point"...Obviously, others had some concerns over their grades as well, b/c she posted online that it was only "one grade", they'll be other opportunities for grades (yep-we know that sister...it's only week 1)....What I'm most concerned about is her comments throughout this week have been VERY evaluative, and have a curt edge to them...One girl explained what literacy looks like in her classroom...The instructor commented back that maybe she should look at the "other posts" (I think she thought she was too brief, and "what exactly is your role in the classroom?"--ouch!....I commented on 1 girl who has the parents fill out a reading log weekly...I said that many of my kids don't read at home and would love to borrow that idea to get some more involvement...My comment from her was "Funny, I consider myself a literate person, but their were times when I was too busy to read Quinns (her kid) Rosy Reader. Parents are busy so don't just make assumptions. But it is great to get parent involvement."...What?....I mentioned b4 about the community that I work in...There's LOTS of neglect, unfortunately....I certainly wasn't talking about a missed few nights of reading w/mom and pop...I mean NO reading whatsoever....Maybe it's the lack of sleep that's making me overly sensitive...It's just that ther's "edge" to everything she says, and I wanted this last class to be just as good as my past 4....I wanted to finish off saying that i got a 100% in EVERY class...Now I just want to make sure I get an A here...I had such a great experience w/Courtney and Karen....This is kind of a downer...Thanks for letting me vent....Miss you guys
