Well, first of all, if you are really timid, you don't have to speak up at all.
Just read the lessons and discussions and see what everyone else has to say. You'll learn a lot that way.
But if you have questions you've hesitated to ask the people you know, here is a great chance to ask in front of people you may never see again, but who all are in the same boat as you - so you know you'll get good answers.
If you think about it - this is really a course that was created by a group of very supportive friends - even though none of us have actually met face to face. There couldn't be a calmer, friendlier environment for learning more about fibro.
And you'll be doing it in private. Only other class members will see your questions, and if you use an alias not even they will know your name.
But - I taught at University level for over 20 years and never once embarrassed a student in public. (I once had a student do an imitation of me trying hard to deal with I know all too well that there are no stupid questions - and even if someone asks one that may seem silly, chances are good that 90% of the class is glad you asked.)
Anything you would like to add that wasn't covered by the other questions?
The BONUS!! If you take the course and enjoy interacting with class mates and me then you don't have to end that experience on the day class ends. Instead you can come over to Fibromyalgia Friends and meet even more like minds and continue to interact and grow.
I'd like to thank Carol for taking time out of her busy schedule to give everyone a more indepth look at the wonderful world of SuiteU - and the Coping with Fibromyalgia Course.
