What’s up everyone,
First, I want to say that I had a great time in this class with all of you. This was really my only class where I knew pretty much everyone and I felt like we were studying in a little “armadillo” community. I’ve learned a lot from this class, but the main thing I took away was thinking outside the box when writing. Before I write a blog post, I always view the other posts and see how everyone’s ideas and approach to the topic are different and unique and this allowed me to not just answer the topic in a standard way, but to critically analyze it and write my piece in a distinctive style. I also thoroughly enjoyed the small group discussions because I felt comfortable expressing my ideas and listening to others’ opinions and seeing how everyone reflects on the topic differently. Working on and presenting with my forum group also improved my presentation skills and showed me that presenting in front of a class is not all that scary. Well, it’s been real 12:00 class, happy holidays.
