Learning Reflection

This semester was full of growth and understanding. I feel that through it all I kept up with the assignments rather well. It was a lot of reading in this class to keep up with and some of the reading was a mouth full but I felt like I made it through. I read the stories and even use the internet to help me understand parts when I was still confused. Then I went through and broke it down into parts that I felt I understood the most and went from there. The assignments were long depending on the week; or maybe they just felt that way because of all the other things that were going on with me this semester. If I had some better time management skills then I would have done a lot better when it came down to how I was doing the assignments for the class. I do feel that with everything that I went through this semester and the course work that was giving I was able to keep up with the reading and give it the best shot that I had at that present week.

My participation in the discussion was great. If I remember correctly, I was able to do all but one of the discussion questions. This part of the class allowed me to see how others viewed certain things and how they choose to write about them. Even though I felt like my opinion was different and not as deep as others I still gave my opinion and then commented back on others. This way I allowed my group members to see how I felt about things and how I felt about what they had to say. It was a great way to keep the class in some kind of connection even though this was an online class. So I feel that was participation was a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the better grade.

Posting to the blogs was different for me. As I have stated before this has been my first class where I had to write a blog. I found this quite interesting and once weeks went past I was able to see all the assignments that I did and see how well I was doing in the class. I do feel like this was a way to see if I was keeping up with the assignments and I was. If I missed a week I was able to see that when I went to my blog and see that a week was missing. I also enjoyed being able to see other people blogs and see how they chose to design them. Then I was able to read some of their work and see how it relates to mine or if it didn’t relate I got to see their views. This made things very interesting. I felt that was able to keep up with the blog and that I enjoyed writing them even though sometimes it was hard putting my thoughts on paper.
