Hi! My name is Caitlin Spillane and I am a rising sophomore. I’m majoring in civil engineering and the reason I decided to take this course is because I am hoping to study abroad spring semester when I would normally be taking this class at campus. However WRT 205 is not offered in my preferred country so I chose to take it this summer. This summer I am planning on working at a pizza place and hanging out with friends when not doing class work. One of my classes last semester was completely asynchronous so I am used to being online and it is very nice being able to work ahead of schedule whenever possible. My only piece of advice is make sure to make a note of all the assignment due dates because it can be very easy to forget to hand something in, especially during the summer. I look forward to getting started!!
Deadlines certainly can slip away from us when we’re busy, so use whatever technologies help you out (good ol’ pen and paper to-do lists, reminders in your phone, Google calendar or task lists, etc.).
I look forward to working with you again, Caitlin. Where are you hoping to study abroad next year?
In Florence!!
