Course Reflection

I had a lot fun in this course. I read some interesting things that I don't think I would know about otherwise. I thought it was really good that the course was split into three sections--each determining an important aspect of the overall theme of the course. I felt that that was helpful and also kept my interest in the pieces that we read.

I think the only thing that I did not really warm up to is, regretfully, the blogs. Not because I don't think they are a great learning tool but because sometimes I felt that I couldn't really put my all into the blog because one was due every week and the subject always changed. I think that some of the ideas some of the girls suggested in class would be a great way to improve the blog as a learning tool. Maybe having one person write a blog and then everyone else write a blog stemming off that one persons. Something to that extent could definitely help discussion.

I loved the papers that we wrote-especially the second one because it really sparked my interest in the different works. I think that the differences in the papers was a good change of pace because it helped maintain my interest as well as made me try something different. It was interesting and fun at the same time.

I agree with you about paper 2! It was a really nice shift, compared to the tradition formal paper. I can't remember the last time I had the opportunity to write a creative paper!

Good to know--both about the blogs and Paper 2. There were some very helpful suggestions about blogging discussed in class that I'm definitely taking into account. Thanks!
