After a busy first couple of weeks and getting back into the swing of classes, I am ready to take time to sit back and reflect on the things I have learned thus far in TSTM J444. I am adapting suprisingly well to taking an online class and, for the most part, I am enjoying it. The ability to manage my time around our assignments is really helpful. Taking a class online can free up alot of time and I have been able to get other things done during the time I would be spending in class.

So far, the textbook reading assignments have been okay. It has always been difficult for me to sit down and read from a textbook, but I enjoyed reading the Voices from the Field section with Mike Barger. On the contrast, the online readings were much more entertaining. I especially enjoyed the 'JetBlue - Flying High With Service' article which described JetBlue U, the company's training program. It is becoming more and more evident to me that the need for corporate training will continue to remain high. It is very important that I grasp an understanding of these training techniques and remain technologically savvy.
