I was successful in carrying out the majority of the course assignments. The first hurdle was Discussion Board Posts. All aspects of this assignment were a challenge. It took the first two weeks for me to find a grove and to demonstrate my understanding of these posts. The other portions of the assignments were a lot of fun and entailed a lot of new learning. The assignments themselves were not difficult, however, completing all of them in the allotted time proved to be a challenge. I frequently found myself still working on Sunday evenings to meet the deadlines. Time management will be the key to my future success. I feel like I am better prepared to meet the demands of this program with one course under my belt. Another factor that came into play was my mother-in-law became very ill during the third week of this course and sadly died on the final week.
