#38 July 27: Research LAG units – 45 minutes

The issue involving the ICC website going offline had not been fixed as of this morning, so I informed Dr. Tiell via text that the review we were going to do today would need to be postponed. I do not like being the bearer of bad news, but thankfully it is not at the top of our priority list at this very moment. That would be going through all nine of our LAG units. I made it through some the other night and had planned to look at it more last night, but ended up having to deal with the website issue instead. I mentioned there is a lot of interactivity to this course, so it is going to take some dedicated time to get through it all. Not too much, though.

My experience as both an MBA student and communications professional has been very helpful through the review process because I have a good idea of what I am looking for out of the content. I can analyze pretty effectively the strengths and weaknesses of what is in each of the units at least from a wording standpoint. The curriculum part is, of course, best left to the experts, in this case, the educators. However, feedback is very important for them because that is how they know whether their methods are working or they need to take a different approach. That is where I come in. I have the role of the student taking this course and hoping to get something out of it. If I have trouble with sections of LAG, then others could experience the same difficulty. In that sense, my thoughts are going to be very critical to the process.
