Hello! I'm Kelly McDow. I'm 21 years old and from Roanoke, Va. I am a transfer student from UVA-Wise, so this is only my second year at JMU but my fourth year in school. I am an SCOM major with a concentration in organizational and minoring in Educational Media. I really love JMU and am glad I took the initiative to transfer and make a change in my life. My family means everything to me and were very supportive of me transferring sense both of my parents went to JMU as well. They met here and loved that I transferred here. My sister is a senior in high school and plans to go here as well, so we try to keep it in the family!
Anyways that's a little about myself and as for this class I'd really like to learn about how to navigate this online class first of all and feel comfortable with it. This is my first time ever taking an online class so I'm a little nervous. I'm also really excited to learn about more technology in society and everything this class has to offer. I would really love to become an event planner. I had an internship back home at a local country club and was actually the "Banquet Sales Manager" aka wedding/events planner there and I absolutely loved it!! I'm hoping this class will futher my skills and knowledge that I need so I can become more successful and effective in whatever I do!
Kelly, welcome.
ReplyDeleteOnline classes can typically fall into two camps: the bad and the good. Often folks complain that they don't feel they're part of a class - just a discussion forum.
No discussion forums here - but we do have blogs. :-)
By participating in this class online you'll get a powerful experience about some of the issues we study. Best of luck and I hope this will be an example of a great learning experience for you.
