A few of my favorite things...and not so favorite

This was my first time taking an online class and it taught me a lot.  My favorite part about the class was being able to work in groups of people from the class. I honestly was not expecting meeting anyone at until the last test, but it was an awesome experience getting to know people instead of being complete strangers taking a final at the end of the semester.  I loved working in groups; despite the fact that it does become difficult due to everyone's different schedules conflicting all the time, I liked getting to know our group from the beginning of the semester to the end.  What made things a lot easier was that we were able to stay with the same group throughout the semester; I became more comfortable and confident in our group.  The least favorite part and something that can be improved is having all of the blogs finished in 12 hour intervals.  I understand that this helps us become disciplined and up to date with our deadlines, but it does become difficult.  I mean, I took an online class because of my time constraints this semester; I wanted to be able to do things on my own time.  And having to turn in things in 12 hour intervals were tough because of my hectic schedule.  I always had to them towards the end of the week. I think it should be up to the students when to do their blogs but still have a due date, just like 11:59pm at the end of the week.  That way, things will still get done accomodation will be up to the student.
