I think UW faculty do a great job of really expanding your thinking, asking difficult
questions, making you go that step further. If you were sitting in a classroom, you might
be thinking those thoughts, but you never articulate them, or you never write them down.
So this gives you that opportunity. I think I tend to be quiet; I do a lot of listening
in a class where Im not sure I would have contributed the way I have been able to do
so in an online format. Initially, I remember writing a post, and rewriting it, and thinking,
Is this good enough to post? Thats all a process youre learning while youre doing that. And
we are an incredibly strong group. We have students from all over the United States from
Atlanta, Ga., Philadelphia, California, and as far away as Beijing, China.
