Reading and writing my way through it

Change management implementation, performance management in distance education. Anyone home anyone know anything about this. While I was doing the course work, I felt frustrated that I didn't have much hands on working knowledge. Somehow I read and wrote my way through it. I know how to do that well, regardless of the subject matter. I will do that again. But I must move quickly. There is so much do aside from school.

Write it in 30 days or else

so said the professor in an e-mail. This I know. So this Imust do. Step one, research.

The last one

The last one in this course is on change management and performance in distance education. I am a little worn out from the 95% percenter, but I know I need to get going here. And meanwhile it looks like the fall will be busy.

95 for all my trouble

Well of all things. Five weeks of hard labour! I felt pleased with myself. I really climbed a mountain this time. I already have to start yet another one. And I will do that, I will do that!! AFter that I will have no more required courses. The question is what do I do next, what the heck do I do with this degree!!

It's done !!!!!!!Time to catch up

Now I have to catch up with the rest of the course. But first a breather.

Almost done

There are a few pieces left. Checking this, then that, and finally this assignment 2 will be done out of my hair, finished, complete. Oh this was hard.

Getting better

It's getting better and easier but I need to finish soon. Help!!

Momentum

Finally it's happening. The writing is coming. I think I get it. Boy it took a while. This is the point I need to reach with each paper. Dear god please help me make it through this one and thenext. please help!!

cost accounting and other boring things

It has been very hard for me to get into this topic. It has hurt my brain. I didn't start out this term being mentall strong but I have had to stretch my muscles yet again. Oh finally i'm getting but I'm woafully late. This subject doesn't inspired me to song but yet it is important. You can't have a business without a financial backbone. So although it's been painstaking to learn, i still have to learn. So several financial factors have to be considered ( fixed costs those that don't change, variable costs those that do and indirect costs those that the parent insitution pays) and may things in between. Start up funding because up front funding is important in DE and strategies to maintain sustainability. I think I've got it. Now it's just details.

It's going slowly

It's going way too slow. I don't know what it is. I got much done yesterday but still not enough. Back for more today. Back for more.

Ouch this is hard

My second half of the summer semester has started. I have to be in class more and have more preps and marking to do. and meanwhile my paper is now four days over due. Ouch this is hard. each section I do is excruciating. I have to really visit the information closely to make sure I've gotten it, that it gives the instructor what he wants. I have to say, that I have no feel for this course, but then again, I didn't for some of the others--yet I made it through. This one is breaking me, or maybe, I will break it yet please help; ouch this is hard. .

found the focus

I found it. I had to sweat. The course is called "planning and management" in distance education. Planning is strategic planning. It starts with a vision and mission and values and then moves to creating some goals around that. Then those goals have to be put in place over a period, and also be costed. Specficity. The question I ask in the paper is that if a college wants a new department of DE, what specific plans and changes does it need to make to create that over a period of time. What are the accounting considerations. Simple but not easy. Welcome to managerial mechanics!! foreign territory for me. Now it's just details

Focus

Focus, focus, focus, focus. what is the skeleton structure. Once I have the structure Iwill be off --is it how to or is it descriptive? What mode?
