Which course number is this? Is it one of the new "C" courses? If so I am working on this and told my SM I wanted to punch this course in the face. ..

I handed my paper in early Saturday morning. Number 9 in taskstream. I found this to be one of the easier papers because it was less about facts and more about reflection and personal thoughts. I managed 12 pages.

The advanced technology class was the one i really hated. I'm not sure a topic has ever bored me more.

I'm a facts person.

I have skepticism of a class that has a book written by Andrew Weil as its assigned textbook.

I wrote a bunch more, but I've deleted it. I've been at WGU for almost 3 years now, and overall I've been highly impressed with the caliber of their classes and required assigments. I just feel like they missed the mark with this one. I have higher expectations from them.

I think my paper ended up being 7 or 8 pages (not counting title and reference pages). #60 in the queue. :)

I think my post came across as arrogant but it certainly wasn't meant that way! I was just relieved at how easy I found this one class for a change! Which means I also did not feel challenged by it. Working on Translational research next.

No, not at all. I can see why many people would find a reflection paper to be easier. I, on the other hand, am poor at self-reflection even with a therapist. :)

Did you pass?

I did! I work night shift and before I went to bed this morning they were evaluating my paper, I stayed up an extra 30 minutes but finally gave up and went to sleep. Nice to wake up to another class behind me!

When do you anticipate being finished?

I just started this class. I'm not sure I've ever hated a class more. I just don't get it. I'm really struggling to even begin to write the paper. I feel like the reading doesn't even address the things they want written about. Already completely stumped on A1. This was not the best choice for me as my very first grad school class!

Good luck to you! (BTW, I was born and raised in Minneapolis! Haven't been back home in almost 10 years - I miss it!)

Hi fellow nurses... I'm in this class right now, and I can feel your pain so acutely. Is that Era III?

Anyway... Just know that you're not alone in your painful feelings of reading and trying to understand this.
