Hello!

May 18th, 2009  Tagged

Hey everyone! My name is Rachel Mullins, but I go by Tori.  It comes from my middle name, Victoria.  I am entering into my second year as a graduate student in the discipline of Speech-Language Pathology.  I am 24 years old and live in Chesterfield County with my hubby.  We have no children or pets.  I just became the aunt of the cutest chocolate lab in the whole world, named Bella Rose.  I am taking this course to help improve my writing skills.  I enjoy to play sports and teaching my 9th grade sunday school class.  They are so much fun.  From this course, I hope to gain skills that will help me to improve my writing skills in my discipline.

My previous experiences with online classes have good and bad.  I have taken online classes were the professors responded to questions quickly and then there have been those professors that take days to get a responds from.  I have taken classes where course work was extremely easy and extremely hard.  If I had my preference of where a class is held, online or classroom, I would prefer to take a class in the classroom.  I am a visual learner and I feel I have a hard time learning from online classes.  However, I need to take a writing class and all of them were offered online, so I had to choose one to take.

As far as a research topic, I have no idea what to research because this class is outside of my discipline.

    I sent you an e-mail yesterday saying I couldn’t get the comment feature on your blog page to work. Well, the problem was on my end. It looks like I’m all set now. This is a test.

    Tori,
    I can’t find a comment feature to comment on your most recent blog about your paper topic, so I’m responding here. I tried to post this a minute ago and hit the wrong button and it disappeared. Wierd. Anyway, here I go again. Please decide by Friday (tomorrow) which area you want to study. next week we will begin locating sources so you’ll want to have decided which topic area you want to investigate. Either area is fine. You may compare the two approaches to fixing the speech problem (that’s the topic that sounds most interesting to me) or two approaches to teaching letter sounds in kindergarten in the dark (I assume to blind children?). However, besides comparing the two approaches to either topic, be sure that you point out the pros and cons to each approach and that you ultimately decide which you believe is the best approach. In other words, you will have an informed opinion as to which of the two approaches is best.
