Favorite, Least Favorite, Improvements
My favorite thing about this class is the fact that is online, and I am able to do my blog posts on my own time. This is good for me because I am a busy person and if it would have been very stressful for me to have an exact time everyday that I would have to do these blog posts. I feel like three blog posts a week is a very fair amount to do. It was not too overwhelming but also challenging enough because I would have to read each chapter earlier in the week and reflect on them through the blog posts. I also commenting on other people's posts because it promotes a healthy and critically analyzing community. The least favorite things about this class is meeting up with my group. It was very difficult to gather everyone's information and schedule so we could all make time in our day to meet up. We all have different times we are available, some have classes, some have work, others commute so it was a challenge to meet up to discuss projects. One thing that could be improved is on the Comm41 site, if there was a way to not have the "Older Posts." This way it was all on one page, and I would be able to Ctrl+F to find a specific key term or date, instead of looking through the archives. This would make things easier for the students as well as the teacher.

I also loved the time flexibility that this online course provided. I, like you, have a bussy schedule and need to make room for a few things durring my free time. This class was an easier form of learning because I could access my blog and post during any time of the week. Its really difficult for me to make it to school during the weekdays, so I used the weekends to catch up on my reading and post. Although i agree with you here, I think that the old post on the blogs are helpful. These post provide comparisons for students so that they can get an idea of what they should write or how they should write in the future.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on the point that we do get to do our assignments on our own time. I mean there is a deadline but we also have a whole week to do it whenever and however we can. I feel that this is very convenient for those who have other priorities. Three blog posts is fair because if it were any less that would be too easy. Your least favorite thing about the class is the same as mines as well. Everyone has their own scheduale so it was super difficult to arrange a meeting time. I feel they should be taken out completely.
