Last weekend 08 Aug 2009

Alrighty,
Last weekend and we are now finished. Here is the run down of what we covered just incase you might of missed it. I will be following the syllabus to organize it.

1. ROI workshop
-we talked about roi and used the link from wiki to view the ROI model
-we then talked about calculating the ROI Doc gave us some important formulas to do this
-First Doc handed out this paper describing all the formulas located on the link above.
-Then we were given a practise exercise for caculating ROI in a scenario, Doc pretty much gave us all the information we just had to plug it in and come up with the ROI
-After we accomplished that Doc gave out a more difficult scenario. In this on we had to find all the information using or CALCULATORS we had some math to do to figure out all the necessary information for the cost.

2. Reflection Prep
-we all went around the room and had 90seconds to talk about what we learned, like, found interesting about the course.
-every one pretty much said the same things....loved the class, thought it was going to more difficult, wish the class was front loaded in the WED program, loved how well the class meshed together.....lisa cried

3. Blog entries online
-we each were given a paper to track someone else in the classes discussions and blog entries to make sure they were in on time and/or completed at all. End result people found out that they have alot of makeup to do.

4. Exam creation
-we paired up and wrote a question on something from 463.
-we posted up on the board and good 463 fashion ripped them apart...good fun
-over all we did much better we established the need for clear direction in circling either the letter or answer....
-some people got mad others enjoyed the exercise and appreciated the fact that there was growth in quick and well completed the questions

Now these items did not necessarily take place in that order but were done all the same. Please check out the wikispaces page for new post or items you might have missed. Most of us did not even know there was a ROI page.

Ok well that was the last class for this semester man did it go by rather quick. Must say for all it seemed to be the course we all enjoyed the most. It is sad to see it go but a new begining comes from some other beginings end. Its bitter sweet but its progression in our program and for some the end of a long year. Doc Ackerman was a breath of fresh air compared to others. The blend of online and seated class time was new and very easy to enjoy. I will pull many tools away with me from this course and they will be ontop my instructor toolbelt waiting to be used. For now i wipe the sweat form my brow and giggle with anticipation for the next class and adventure....

thanx all my classmate and thanx especially to Doc Ackerman
