Your Grade: Leading Horses to Water

Drinking the educational water is up to you but getting your muzzle in the stream of the course seems to be my job.

Jaajjaja I love the expression!!! So the analogy is to present our course right?

@koynancy

Yes, Nancy, the analogy relates to our course.

Well, I think most of us are not used to be autonomous learners, even though teachers really promote it. It is working and we have done a lot of research about that in past courses and it seems that it is the best way to be successful, but sometimes we need pressure to do things, and I think the only thing that missed was not setting due dates for the videos (or assignments). So it's not probably lack of interest but of organization (I mean, we need to be organized to manage our time).

Hi Bernardeth,

There's no doubt a grading schedule for the videos would have been helpful for at least some of the students. That is one change I'll make the next time I teach this course or anything like it.

I agree teacher with you when you said that you can give all your knowlegde to us as students but it is our responsability to "drink the to the educational water" that you are giving us

@yola3087

Yolanda, actually I think you and your classmates are doing a great job. This class is a major departure from your prior educational experience and you are adapting will. I hope you have learned a lot.

As far as now this is my favorite video because teachers can give us all the information they want but we as learners decided what to take

[jazshining]

well as teachers we can give a course althought it doesn't mean that all students are going to learn.

[Marielbile]

That is very true, because many people assist to school and it doest mean that they are learning something, but I admire that you want us to learn in this course

[zhesareRamos]

sometimes some of the students and most of them the ones that already had a job, doesnt know how to divide the main obligations in the learning path, priors and organization are not the skills that are involve everyday in my schedule

@madtigerlily

I totally agree with you. Actually I could say I have that problem. I´m always late with the assigments I have to upload or send to the teachers, but it´s a matter of organization.

I prefer to take sips of the educational water, drink what I need, not trying to swallow everything at once

[SaKuRaKaTsUkI02]

We can be autonomous, but not at a full range because in a determinate time we will need assessment to clarify doubts

[webiip]

you can tell us what to do, and give us tools.......but you can not do it for us.
