2nd Half



            So far I think that things are going well in this class. I enjoy the atmosphere of it and the class as a whole; also the fact that it’s not that big of a class compared to some of my other ones. With that, I think it’s a better learning environment and we can participate more. I did think it was going to be a harder/rougher class, but it’s exceeding my expectations. This last paper is going to be a challenge for sure, and I appreciate it when we can work on it in class. When we have these research assignments, I would rather that we didn’t have the reading homework included.
            I’m not too sure what else we can try to change for the class. I enjoy the class ‘lectures’ and participation from everyone in general, and I am learning a lot. I like the blog assignments; they’re something different from all my other classes. I think they’re going fine. And something that I’d appreciate, (and I think the whole class would agree with me), would be to have some extra credit available. These three papers are worth so much on our grade. If we don’t get the best grade on one of them, then it’d bring down our grade a lot. Having some other extra credit would help even out the weighted papers. The research paper is worth 300 points by itself.
            Other than that, I think that the class is doing well and we’re all learning together.

  1. I agree! I REALLY appreciate the time in class to research and start a rough draft. It allows us to ask questions as they come up about the paper instead of waiting for the next class period.

  2. Extra credit would be awesome! I would still do all my regular assignments, but it would be nice to have the extra credit opportunities if I didn't get the grade I wanted. I really enjoyed your comments.
