Ms.
Cline,
First of all I want to say that I have enjoyed the
technology aspect of this course. I decided to take English online because I
have two jobs and also go to school full time. When I enrolled in the course I
expected to have some boring, old fashioned class with essays due every other
week. I was surprised and liked the way you introduce this course. I would have
to say that the biggest challenge I came across so far was the making of our
introductory video. I could not for the life of me figure out how to make it a
video/slide show; but after playing with it on YouTube for a few minutes I realized
it was actually easier than I thought.
I feel like so far our analyses have helped me
become a better reader. Before this course I would never bother to go back and
re-read, but now I realize that it actually helps to do so in order to get a
better understanding of the piece. Analysis is different from anything I’ve
done in any other course because it helps you understand the real meaning of
the piece. Before this course all my writings would be in the form of a
summary. I now realize that is why I would always run out of things to say because
I did not actually analyze the writings.
So far the course has been challenging yet
rewarding. My goal for the second half of the semester is to further improve my
reading and writing skills. I would like to learn new and different things to become
a better writer so that one day I can apply these skills to my field of
education. Finally and most importantly I would like to earn a good grade for
the course.
