...long term results and value of completing a higher education will be beneficial for the time and effort spent. Each class in the short term will eventually incorporate the smaller details and disciplines to aid in the long term goal of a higher degree. I will have doors open which previously were not available because of the lack of a higher education. Opportunities not enjoyed prior will be multiple and open to be scrutinized by me and my achievement of a higher education. Salary, positions, and of course the ability to advance in the business arena are there for the taking. The tools and assessments which I have acquired in the course will benefit me greatly as I will now be able to use the knowledge in practical application. The tools which I feel will be especially helpful is fundamental writing techniques and methods. Prior to this class my knowledge of how to properly structure sentences using proper grammar and structure of sentences and paragraphs were limited and antiquated. The practice in the My Foundations Lab especially helped me realize the importance of the fundamentals in writing. The online learning experience has and is a benefit for me growing as a student and learning to study with others. This collaborative environment is interesting and helps me with the continued interaction with others sharing the same goal.
