Taking a Breather to Reflect

I am finding this course quite hard at the moment. I'm not currently managing anyone and I am not terribly used to using social media, so I am seriously questioning how appropriate the course is for me at the present time.

I am also not particularly liking the format of the lessons or the guy who features in the videos. No offence intended, but he is a non-descript 'grey man'. Grey hair, grey suit, grey voice with a touch of condescension.

The resources for the course are pretty good, but it's easy to miss things, hence my previous comment about not missing out on anything that's pink. They have used pink to denote active links and additional information.

The students on the course seem rather more with it than I found them on other courses so far. Given how many people sign up for these courses I am questioning how we are going to be put into groups for the group work. Or are we meant to create our own groups?

Overall, not impressed with this course so far. The lessons are too numerous and the time commitment is too great for me, it's stopping me from enjoying it. The main difference I have noticed between this course and ones I enjoyed previously is that there has so far been very little opportunity for discovery learning. It's been very tutor led and a bit over-laboured overall, with a smirking, self-satisfied addiction to terminologious self-indulgence.
