Below is a segment from my former University of Phoenix blog. I have since rolled the blog into my main blog for posterity.

I figured in the theme of my projects these past six weeks, I'd get this in just under the wire too. :)
Well, here it is, almost midnight on Wednesday night. Laura and I had talked about this class being the make-it or break-it class, and I think it's safe to say that I can make it.
I can't begin to thank you all for your insight and wisdom. I have learned so much from you about so many different topics. Most were subjects I'd never hear about in a conference or read in a magazine- these were REAL and things that come from REAL experience. I'm very grateful to all of you for sharing such a valuable insight with me.
I had actually reflected already on Connie's lecture topic. Her simple questions were topics of discussion when I about lost my mind earlier in the class. I decided (much like Christine) that I'm doing this for personal betterment (and hopefully advancement). The knowledge gained in this class has been a perfect contrast to all the negative lessons I'm learning in my workplace. Together, I'm getting the FULL scope of what to do (and witnessing what happens if you do it wrong).
I enjoyed the final exam. I like critiquing, and feel that one of my strong suits is being able to handle scenarios without getting people bent out of shape. I think my people-oriented focus has a great deal to do with this, but again, I'm not going to change that. I think it's a good thing. :)
So thanks again to all, BIG thanks to Connie for encouraging me and keeping the conversations going. I've learned a bunch!
