Each of us discussing our progress; our latest acheivements, and our silly mistakes; what worked well, and what didn't; which courses we would recommend, and which courses we wouldn't; which professors to watch out for.Pepperoni pizza is always popular!
IMO, and this is not groupthink speaking, i feel lucky to have this board. i was fortunate enough to have joined instantcert a month after this board came into existence. for me, instantcert has been invaluable and so has this board. i can't imagine how much harder this journey would be without the support, wisdom, understanding, and help that i have received here, not to mention the camaraderie. i want to hear 'the way it is' for a test. just as in school, we would hear the same thing. when i read the posts i know i am getting honest feedback, which helps me to plan my course of action. or if i have a question, someone is always there to help me. they take valuable time out of their day to give me honest feedback.
no one will be giving me my degree, I AM EARNING EVERY CREDIT. are some courses easier than others, sure, just as some are SO much harder than others, just like in a b & m school. i see distance learning as a wave of the future, more and more people will be using this in some part of their learning process. sometimes, people don't understand what i am doing and wonder about it, but as time goes on, i think that will happen less and less. in my own small way, i'm helping to blaze a path here, and maybe make someone else's journey a little easier.
