**Module 7 Reflection**
Reflect on how you perceive yourself as an online learner?

I usually do very well as an online learner. I like to print things out and organize them in a notebook. I am very deadline oriented. Everything is done by a calendar. I am into reading and writing. Online classes really enhance my best modalities. I work well on my own. I will ask questions only after I have exhausted all possibilities. Most of the time I don't even miss the interaction with others although I do well with group projects.

Are you well-prepared to be an online learner?

Usually, yes. This semester, not so much. This class has been a little more challenging for me for several reasons. One- with my grandmother passing in the first few weeks of class, it was tough. Life was pulling my mind and energy away from my job and my studies. It took about a month to get out of that funk. Two- I think my plate is fuller now that I am working a job that takes me 50 hours to do well. I have family and church activities and responsibilities that also fight for my attention.

Tell us aobut what you need to improve in order to be a successful online learner.

This time I had the hardest time I ever have with deadlines. I couldn't seem to get everything read in time and respond to all the online postings and watch all the videos and use the resources provided. I always felt rushed. In part I think this is because I do better with one class at a time now. Two classes is too much for me at this point, especially if they are both have extensive reading in the beginning. I didn't feel as organized this time. I don't like having somethings online that I can't put in a notebook like websites to visit and videos to watch.
