2nd week of the semester

I always love the second week of the semester because this is when my students start letting me know that stuff isn't working in my course! There is a mad dash the weeks leading up to the start of the semester to get everything in the LMS. It's really easy to miss some things until you actually get in to start facilitating and the students start working through the activities.

I'm teaching two courses this semester. One of them I completely revised, so it's really becoming 'my' course. The other one I'm using another professor's structure,so I really don't feel it's 'mine'. I've taken over so many courses in my life that I've become fairly adept at stepping into someone else's course at the last minute. But I really love tweaking it, revising it, to make it mine.

  1. That has to be difficult to step into someone elses course. What is LMS? Is that elearning?

    2. Rachael,
      Yes, LMS is learning management system. eLearning is the WMU branded name of the LMS. The LMS is Desire2Learn.
