Lets be honest, everyone has heard horror stories about the workload that EDM310 entails. I was dreading taking this class, however the first week in, I feel like I may actually like it. It is requiring me to think and put my thoughts out. My biggest fear in this class is the workload. I go to school full-time and work full-time in order to pay rent and my car payment. The Education computer lab and the library are going to be my best friend this semester, helping me with my time management. I plan to seek help from the assistants in the Education building if I even feel as if I'm falling behind. Another fear is that I won’t be able to figure out some of the applications on my Mac. I haven’t had it but a year or so, and I haven’t used all of the features it offers. EDM is definitely more computer based than any of my other classes I have had, but I sort of expected that. The main thing I will have to tell myself is that its okay to ask for help and that I can do this. There are plenty of other students that have taken this course and have been successful and I can do it too!
