Course Reflection

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I came into class. I had no idea what kinds of papers we were going to be writing, how much homework we would have, etc. The readings that we started off the course with were perfect. It got me into the right frame of mind and I found them very interesting. They both gave different perspectives and opened the door for our first papers to expand on the idea of place. The readings intrigued me and I think they sparked a lot ideas for discussion.

The blogs were difficult for me at first. I had never been on a blog before. It was hard to write my thoughts on the blog at first because I wasn't exactly sure what to write or how formal it was supposed to be. As time went on, I thought the blogs were great for class discussion. Because it was something everyone had to do, it forced us all to participate. It was nice to have the blog as a place to get out our thoughts and opinions that we didn't feel comfortable sharing in class. 

I would have to say that the class discussion was my favorite part of class. A lot of the material we read I think was new for a lot of girls in class including me. The readings made me think differently and it was fun to hear others opinions. I wish that more of the class could have been involved in the discussion but overall, I think our class was pretty good with discussions. 

Overall I enjoyed this course. As I said before, the readings and what I payed attention to in the readings was different from other courses I've taken. This opened my mind to a lot of things which is something I can appreciate.
