Week 2 - homework and stuff

Another busy week..... getting into a routine now, so that's helping.

I'm hitting up all the required stuff first..... get it out of the way on Sundays so the pressure's off..... that way, if the upcoming work-week turns into one from hell, I'm not in panic mode trying to get stuff done.  I then spend the rest of the week checking off the other activities here and there as time permits.  One or two activities per night is a nice amount.... 30-45 mins here and there.... some nights I don't do any MG stuff because I'm off pursuing other hobbies/interests/community/family things.

This week's required work consisted of reading 3 more chapters from the online textbook and taking 3 more online quizzes.  I'll be really glad when the text books arrive.... still don't like having to read the stuff online and not have something to readily reference.  Hopefully we'll get the books at next Saturday's class.

Starting to see a pattern with the other activities..... two more crosswords, a pesticide label quiz, a bulbs and more picture quiz, two discussion questions, 2+ hours of videos to watch and umpteen links to peruse and ponder.

If you really take the time to go through it all you're easily looking at 8+ hours of effort.  You could skim through it and do just the bare minimum in about 2-3 hours, but wouldn't be doing yourself any justice.

Sure, some of it's boring and a few items are not well edited/produced, but most of it's pretty well prepared and presented, it's interesting and cool stuff to know.  We're only into this a few weeks but I already feel I'm learning soooooo much good information.  Well worth the effort.
