The End!

This class was a great experience! Something I could try to have control over because of the timing and other things as well. I liked the fact that we could work whenever we wanted and everything was already up with its due dates. Even though it was hard to get the hang of it at first it was still very interesting. I liked how we had to make a blog account and discuss assignments with out classmates because it made this online experience a little more personal. I learned many valuable things in this class, like how to analyze a topic and do some serious critical thinking. This class how taught me to do research about anything I write to actually be able to write a good complete essay with full ideas. The work we did was pretty intense! Even though we only wrote about four essays, it was hard because we had to put lots of time and effort to make them come out good since they were a big part of our grade. The experience of learning how to take an online class was a challenge. I had trouble adjusting at first and I think that the hardest part was not having a teacher be there in front of me to help if I had any questions. I am very happy Jennifer was there and did her best to help when I emailed her or went to her office. I was also happy to have my best friend in the class with me because we were able to figure things out easier together. I enjoyed reading my classmates essays because it helped me to get to know them a little more. If I had to choose between an online class and a regular class I think I would chose a regular one because it’s more personal but this experience was not bad at all. I would just prefer a face to face class. I feel like I need a teacher right in front of me whenever I have questions or something because otherwise I’ll get lost along the way. Other than that, I liked reading all the different kinds of ideas they had about different subjects and getting to know them in this was definitely better. I think I might go to the pool party our class is having if I have the chance to. I think it would be very interesting and something to remember. I’m just happy this semester is almost over and I am happy I learned all these new things. It feels like this semester has gone by so slowly and it just sucks how stressed I was about everything. This class definitely helped me manage my time a little better and helped me not feel as stressed. I have a hard time dealing with stress so I appreciate the one opportunity that this class has provided me with because it has helped me cope with it! Yay the end of the semester is tomorrow can not wait!!!!
