Learner Centered
What did you learn about your own learning process by taking this course?
I learned that I much prefer to work on assignments in pieces...I found that keeping a log made the writing of thecase study much easier, but, I also found that I have problems being precise in my writing. I tend to be wordy and often deviate from the APA style. It's hard to change the way you write to accommodate the APA requirements.

Learner Centered
To a large degree, I am an aural learner so that I missed that element of interaction. I also respond better to f2f situations as opposed to the solitude of the on-line set-up so that maintaining motivation was an ongoing issue for me.
