In this class, Comm 41, what I liked about it is that it is an online class because I didn't have to get up early in the morning to go to class like my other classes. I also liked the program/system, blogger website, that is used for this class because it is very easy to access and very straightforward. I liked the most that this class required as to work in a group for 3 projects because I got to interact with some of my classmates and put the lessons I learned in test.
What I didn't like about the class is the fact that students had to wait 12 hours of timespan between each of the 3 posts for the weekly participation assignment of the class. I personally didn't like it because I waned to finish the weekly participation assignment as soon as possible and I could have done all 3 questions in one seating and get it over with and be done for the week for the class but I could not because the 12 hour wait timespan prevented me from doing it since it was the instructor's instruction.
The only improvment I could suggest for this class is to take out the 12 hour wait timespan for the weekly partication assignment because I'm pretty sure that other students would also want to finish the assignment as soon as possible to get them over with and out of the way or at least reduce the waiting time span to 6 hours so that students don't have to wait for a long time to finish another participation question.
Other than that, to me, the class in overall is very helpful because the lessons for this class helped me learn a lot about critical thinking especially in how to determine if an argument is valid, invalid, good, bad, strong or weak. I definitely would suggest other students to take this class because not only they will learn a lot of things, they will also have fun working with other students for the group project and put the lessons they will learn in this class to test.
I really enjoyed not having to physically going to a class either! it was nice having this class accessible on our computers. I am glad to see someone agrees with the 12 hour time span. You want to get it done as soon as possible, but for me I have no time till the end of the week. I think she does not want people doing them last minute, but sometimes that fits the best time schedule. I am glad we were in the same group and i think it is funny how we always comment on our groups wall!
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you that one thing I liked about this class was that it was online. And the system to complete the assignments was easy to do. I also liked the fact with we work with groups. I honestly hate English and when I found out that I wouldn’t be working online on writing essays for the projects I was happy. I also found that the 12-hour span was my least favorite thing. It was not a hassle for me that I had to wait to finish the class discussions, but I would have liked to finish all 3 at once. I am such a lazy person that I would not write the answer to the questions in a journal then retype it once the 12-hour span was over. I would like to get it done right as I finish reading the chapter.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you about the 12 hour time span as the class did interfere with other priorities that I needed to get done. I find that I would've been able to do all three blogs in one sitting as I can keep all the ideas fresh in my head at one time. There were times in the class where I was unable to do the blogs at all because I had to practice for a very important show at the time, along with a full load of work hours and projects I had to do for other classes. I guess it was because this class was online that I barely managed to prioritize my blogging.
