E-Course Reflection

Content and Relevancy:

The content was very informative, especially when it talked about project management tools. I had no clue how many cool things you could do with those online tools. As a student, while I can't see myself using the complicated project managing softwares, I can definitely see myself using Google Docs and Slides to continue getting real time feedback on collaborative work. It's SO much easier than emailing files back and forth.

Content and Future Career:

I think that the project management softwares may come in to play in a legal practice. Cases are complicated and take a lot of people and time to prepare for. Using software may help me to manage who is completing what tasks and by what days. Hopefully that will help to make case prep more efficient.

Ah-ha Moments:

The biggest ah-ha moment for me was really when I tried the sample questions at the end. A lot of the information in the videos seemed so inapplicable to me. But, when I had to apply what I had learned to the scenarios, I thought, "okay, wow. I can really use these tools."

Issues:

The only issues that I had with the course were technical. When I would answer the unit questions, the course sometimes wouldn't allow me to move on and so I would have to re-launch the entire course. Other times, I tried to keep both the my notes and the course up on a split screen and the options to pause and rewind the course would disappear. I would have to re-launch the course. While these were slightly inconvenient, it was nothing that would deter me from taking an E-course again or recommending this course to a friend.

  1. I agree with the issues of the e-course and that it was a little bit inconvenient to not have the opportunity to pause at times. But overall, I learned a lot!
