Over time, I've learned to keep my expectations realistic.  It's not a negative thing.  It's simply a real thing.  I work a full time job, as do most people.  I have two classes, including this one.  I have comps and an ePortfolio due within the next month.  I go to church and some days I even have a semblance of a social life.  If I make it to the end of this course alive, I'll be grateful.  

 

All jokes aside, I do have expectations from this course as well as any other course I take.  I expect to grow and be changed.  I expect to be able to reach my professors and receive responses in a timely manner. (Thanks Dr. Hartsell).  I expect to hone my evaluation skills and be able to better teach my students to stop using garbage sites for real research.  I expect to learn about new and improved resources that I can share with my teachers and students.  Most of all, I expect to be one step closer to becoming a spectacular resource designer/librarian extraordinaire.  Wait! I'm already a librarian, so I think I'm on my way to that last part.  

 

Here's what I don't expect.  I do not expect to learn everything I'll ever need to know related to website development.  I don't expect to always get it right. (Who knows? I could be getting this all wrong right now.)  However, I expect to gain valuable knowledge and experiences related to the fundamentals of designing websites.
