Okay, I'm going to be very honest - when this blog assignment first began, I used to think it was a drag. I didn't see the point of it and thought it wasted my time. But as the semester is coming to an end, I wish I would have utilized the blog more and used it to get to know some of my classmates better, since after reading some of their blogs, they seem to be quite interesting.
Also, the blog gives us the chance to further discuss the activities or lectures we covered in class, if you are one of those people who don't like to share your opinions in a classroom setting. We also get the chance to see what others thought of the activities as well, and comment on their thoughts and views, thus creating some sort of interaction.
So just a side note to Professor Kurpis -- the blogs are a must! I think you should keep including them into your lesson plan each semester, seeing as how it allows interaction outside of the classroom.

I totally agree with you, the blogs were a good way to communicate with people and find out how people think. I was quite surprised how similar-and different-my thoughts were from so many people in the class. I definitely think the professor should keep this task every semester!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on count 1, count 2, and count 3! This blogging assignment, I am sure, was more interesting and effective than most of us realized it would be. Getting to know other classmates in a class as large as ours was very difficult, but the blog ensured a second option. May the blog be with you!
