It's Friday! WhooHoo!
REVERSED!!
THE BAD NEWS: The professor of my online class stated on Wednesday that our competencies should be submitted "right after"--not before, but "right after" the two-week discussion deadline was up on noon, today. The class syllabus clearly states that there are no deadlines for the competencies except that they can't be submitted until after the topic discussion is over and that they can be submitted any time during the term. She clearly didn't read her own syllabus. After a few people (including me) pointed out what the syllabus says, and asked her to clarify what "right after" means, and after another person pointed out that most of us might find it hard to submit in a small window of time because we TEACH all day, there was no response from the professor. GRRR! In addition, in the classes I've taken prior to this class, the professor at least has coherent "notes" and thoughtful discussion responses. I could have written better responses than this one did, without reading the textbook. It's hard to get motivated for a class when the professor doesn't seem to know what she's doing.
THE GOOD NEWS: Even though I was busy from before sunup until 9:30 at night both Wednesday and Thursday, I was able to complete my competency, and so I submitted it at 12:04. Hopefully, that's "right after" enough! So now, I have the weekend relatively free! WhooHoo! And it's two weeks before I have to submit the next competency--unless she rereads her syllabus!

I wonder what is her life story? Enjoyce this outstanding weekend.
I can tell you it's not promptness or organization or techno-savvy. Grades were supposed to be posted last night- nope! I emailed her on another matter - no reply! And now the class has received 2 emails from her about the competencies, contradicting each other. Yeesh! And this all before the next topic of good communication skills.
