New Class-New Learning Team Week 1-Days 1-7
This class is dealing with management and management process. I have found it to be interesting but a lot of work. There are 2 weekly questions to answer then 4 days out of the 7 day week there are at least 2 posts that you have to make. Along with that there is again a learning team process. New class, new people. Of course five people assigned and first week one is gone. It is myself and 3 other people. This time all males. They are precise, concise, get it done, and let's get it over with. No problem. Hopefully this will be better but do not think I will ever like Team Learning. I think it may just be a process the school needs to show more work completed in a five weed period. Oh yes prices just went up again so now we have a 3 hour credit (5 week class) costing $1740.00. Hmmm I guess all that advertising they are doing is costing them big bucks. Off to write 2 more papers before this week is up. Monday comes fast.
First Class Completed-Yeah
Week 4-Day 6&7, Week 5-Days 1-7
What a busy two weeks. They have flown by. Well final Learning Team Paper was posted but let me tell you. Team Member 2 chose not to participate. Team Member 1 and I had completed the paper by Week 5-Day 3. I had edited the paper ran it through the WritePoint and Tutor Review. I posted a copy so both team members could approve it. Team Member 1 approved. I went over it again on Friday and send it out to both members as the final copy. Saturday morning (Paper is due on Monday) this person (who has not been heard from this entire week) chose to rewrite the paper. Stating it was all wrong and if we chose to send it in she would sabotage our work and send in her own version. I am sure I do not have high blood pressure because it would have popped its top by this time. Saturday morning 6:30 a.m. we begin our conversations by emails. I ask simply what ever changes you make please highlight them and then I will place them in the completed copy that I have. Also prior to sending them to me (it was apparent from the first set of changes) that it needed to be sent through WritePoint. She was putting back in the "to be", "has been", etc phrases that I had already spent over a week taking out of the document. She would send me a document stating that it had been sent through the WritePoint. I would run it through and it had not been ran through previously or changed. So she was not honest. She continued this until I finally made use of a few of the words she wanted to use. One or two lines. Showed her the changes. She was happy. Ran everything thorough WritePoint, made corrections and posted paper. We received 20 points out of 20 points and my ending grade was 92% (A-). Oh well it was an A. I guess I have to accept it. It would have been a A+ if I had not been sabotaged by the "Team Learning Group" process. I am paying over $1700 for 3 hour class and someone else that I don't know has the power to sabotage my grade. That is totally not the way it should be in my book but I'm stuck now.
