No peace for the wicked

I sat my end of term exam last Thursday and it was a horrible experience. It was like living the recurring nightmare where I had a literature exam the next day and hadn't even read the book. I am fiercely against exams partly because I am just terrible at them but mostly because it does nothing to prove ability to apply new found knowledge.

So I had the weekend to recover and now it's back to the classroom. This term it's Online and Distributed learning. I'm already much happier because a) there's no exam (hurray!) and b)there is already quite lively use of the course discussion board so I'm hoping that it will be quite an interactive term.
