       Some skills I have learned in this class are time management. Being on an online class has taught me how to make time to get things done because everything is up to me. I like it because it forces me to become more independent, and responsible with my learning. I will apply them to my career in the future by learning how to deal with one patient at a time. In the future I plan to become a pediatric nurse and I am going to have to need good time management with patients. The readings in this class were tough but I enjoyed them. I think that they are difficult in a good way though because they forced me to think and read between the lines. I normally don't like reading but I really like the readings you chose this semester. I believe I have met the learning objective for this class. For example, one of the learning outcomes are to interpret and analyze text and I believe that they reading we got this year, I was able to interpret and analyze them. I think I have become better at analyzing a text and I have learned the difference between summarizing and getting to the root of the meaning. My writing process has changed from procrastinating and not doing peer edits to realizing that I need to use the resources that are given to me. Like the learning center, or the online tutors. Also, to make sure that everything flows and each paragraph has a strong point that ties back to my thesis. Some challenges in the class were getting myself to sit and read. I don't like being still I am really active and I don't read, but I was forced to read because I needed to know the text in order to write my papers. But in the process of reading I've actually learned to like it a lot more because I was interested in the texts and the overall messages of the readings were insightful.
