or
A CHANGE OF ATTITUDE.
Of course, you can always e-mail the teacher for answers to your questions and not bother to try your fellow classmates, but inevitably, once again. Why would your teacher be checking her email at 3:00am or in the middle of Sunday afternoon (when you notice you logged in to email her 15 minutes after she just posted a reply to someone else.). Timing is everything.
Then there's the frustration of having planned and rescheduled things to be able to devote your whole weekend to do homework the just before finals week so you can be ahead going into finals. Of course, you log in Saturday morning and find that the website is down for "scheduled maintenance"--scheduled with whom, nobody is sure, since they certainly didn't seem to tell anyone. So instead of being ahead, you're behind.
Taking on-line classes can be extremely frustrating unless you're able to learn one not-always-so-simple lesson. CHILL OUT. Nothing you're doing is life and death.
All in all I learned a lot in this class. I have more confidence with the programs now and have a few ideas for things I need to use them for to make life simpler and/or more organized.
I've given a few ideas here for how to relax when your class is getting on your nerves.
