The first semester I really liked how we had to read articles and take quizzes on them every week. I felt like that was much better than having to take huge tests. The articles were for the most part interesting to me, I didn't feel like I was doing it because I had to. I felt like I was doing it because I enjoyed it, and it was an easy grade if you actually read the articles.
Then we hit the second semester and I found out I would be creating my own blog and maintaining it throughout the rest of the school year. I was really mad about the fact we had to do this instead of taking our quizzes I was getting used to. This also made me mad because I'm not very good with computers and everything that has to do with them. I don't have a facebook, Ive never copied a link, or even sent many emails. But when I started to find articles that I was interested in I really enjoyed creating my own blog. I felt like I made it pretty personal by some of the articles I tried posting, just stuff that intrests me.
When I heard about the tv article I had mixed emotions. First I thought it was going to be pretty fun and easy, then I got the rubric and saw how many points everything was worth and it kind of scared me. I enjoyed having to watch the tv shows itself but coming up with the thesis was difficult for me. I think that the presentations we are doing now and a lot better than the ones you had planned. I didn't feel as worried when you said how the new presentations were going to be. Once I had my paper typed I felt proud of myself for completing the task. I felt like I brought up many good points in my paper, and my thesis was backed up very well. Overall I really enjoyed the class and everyone in it made it very fun.
