 I found the program to be unique because it allowed a lot of flexibility. With my schedule and with choosing my classes and my courses I can go at my own pace. I had taken online classes before and maybe didn't get so much out of them but the iSchool makes sure that it's still personable. You still have a lot of access to your professors and to the other students. So I was able to make friendships over the course of this program and make connections you know with professors and I felt that I wasn't lacking, there was nothing lacking between an in person and an online program. My favorite assignment at the iSchool was during Info 298 with Dr. Chow and I was able to work with the ALA's executive director Tracy Hall and we did an amazing research project on prospective black students and the history of black LIS education. In that assignment I took away the dedication that people in the LIS field have and I learned a lot of history and it's doing great things on my CV. One skill that I thought I had down that I've gotten a lot better at and improved on is searching and doing deep web searches, being familiar with databases of all different kinds and understanding what they have to offer beyond simple searches. I've read many articles in my time at the iSchool and I've read many books but one that comes to mind is Algorithms of Oppression by Sophia Noble and I learned a lot about the way that algorithms inform our searches and not always for the better.
