As a highly motivated and determined student, I decided to take a geometry course over the summer to keep my mind active and challenge myself.The sign up was fast and easy, and the course started around the time I requested it to. Things were going well during the first two sections, however, half-way through the first segment of the course, I started having trouble understanding the lessons. I managed to get through the troublesome chapter and continue on, but it seemed as though all of the difficult and more in-depth concepts were packed into only that portion of the lessons. Needless to say, the course was poorly planned. After moving past the difficulties with those lessons, I continued on (to what seemed like a step backwards) into a much easier and quicker chapter. I was grateful for the break from furious, full-paged note taking, but, again, brought back to my thoughts about the poorly designed lessons. And as if these troubles weren't enough, midway through the entire course, during the time of the first overall segment exam, there was a site-wide holiday that lasted for 8 days. All of the instructors, including my own, would not answer any calls, texts, or e-mails. This wouldn't have been a problem if I didn't need a password from my virtual teacher (who was the best part of this experience so far) for both the end of chapter and overall exam. This unconventional delay, which was announced in an untimely fashion, completely threw me off course and caused quite a commotion. So much for trying to excel this summer!
