Reflection

The Global Health and social media course was the first course that I ever took that was relevent to my life. I really enjoyed the class because it was based off of current events. Because the class information was based off of things going on in the world now, It kept me motivated to continue to learn. Another aspect of the class that I liked, was how informative the professor was. Whenever anyone had a issue or a question, the professor would always respond in a timely matter. This is an online course, therefore the great amount of communication was very important to me. Ive taken many other online classes in which the professor was not as helpful as I would have liked. This is the first class Ive taken that required me to use social networks as a way to accumulate points and communicate with the professor. When I first found out about the use of social media I was very confused and thought it was weird. As time went on, I really liked it. I wish more classes had that aspect. The only part of the class that I didn't care for was the group project.

I didn't receive any stress from the class until it was time to do the group project. It is very difficult working with a group of people that you cant physically interact with. Group projects can be annoying simply because there are usually people involved whom don't communicate effectively. Furthermore, I learned a lot about profit and non profit organizations. Before taking this course I knew very little information regarding charities. As for benefiting from the course, I would say that my idea of a class has changed because I have taken global health and social media. I wish more classes had the same format as this class. I really liked the online lectures and how grades were alway up to date. The class was not complicated which is the best feature I can say it had. Online classes have a reputation of being confusing sometimes, But this course was straight to the point.
