Reflection
Ironically, my favorite course of my graduate education, DETT 607, is not required for an MDE, although I believe it should be. I took the course as an elective because of my love for instructional design and online course development. Since then, having experience with both creating and maintaining online courses, I found the information learned in DETT 607 to be invaluable. Not only was the course extremely enjoyable, it gave me the confidence to pursue distance education as a career, despite not having completed my graduate degree at that point in time.
