This is my first semester at Yavapai and with online/hybrid
classes. I was a little hesitant at first but I have been using computers since
I was a child I knew it wouldn’t take long to understand. After playing around
on the site I learned about the online orientation video. The video was helpful
because it showed me how to use blackboard with more direction.
I am in school to obtain my certificate as a Medical
Assistant. Not only am I extremely motivated but I also have a passion for the
classes I am taking. Which is the key to my success, I want to learn. I will be
honest when I first signed up for school my original thought of online classes
was that it would be easier then face to face, which obviously isn’t the case.
I have a set schedule (just as if I was going to school everyday). I am also
not afraid to send emails or raise my hand in class; this is crucial to success
especially for online classes. I know with some of my other classes I sometimes
email my teachers once a day with a quick question, always speak up! Most of
all my motto is “you get what you give.” Ask questions, be assertive, give 100%
and you can’t go wrong in school and in life.
