That leaves me feeling a little lonely, as well an unsure about what happened. I had already passed by a number of students in my first classes since I am going through the accelerated path. However, I only had one course last term (thankfully), and I now wonder if that put me a term off from the other students who had been working on the accelerated path with me. It's not that it matters that much as I only have another term of "normal" classes after this one before I start work on my dissertation. Still, it would have been nice to "see" a friendly "face" in the class.
Hopefully, the class goes smoothly while still increasing my expertise in educational technology.
