The very first day of this course set off a few undesirable thoughts. I actually considered and contemplated the thought of transferring this course once I discovered that our assignments required blogging and 1 final analysis paper. By the second day of class, I decided to stay and continue attending this course. I soon realized that this was one of the wisest decisions that I've made this semester. Blogging was an experience that was worth every post and comment. This course was not your typical, boring, everyday English class.
Blogging is certainly not for everyone but I'd strongly advise those first time bloggers, such as myself, to stick it out and gain the opportunity to unleash your thoughts, ideas, and opinions. In addition, you also get to express your comments to other bloggers in the classroom as well as seeking outer blogging communities that share your subject of discussion.
My first impression proved to be inaccurate because my first thought was this class was going to be a nightmare. Not only have I never blogged before but I also needed a topic/subject that I'd be able to post a blog on for the next 8 weeks. In reality, it was wake-up call that allowed me to discover other ways of writing. Blogging seems to be quite popular these days and I never attempted to seek out the likes/dislikes of this new style of writing until now.
With the requirements of this course, I also gained the knowledge of my classmates writing ability and was allowed to offer them my opinion and suggestions. For example, one suggestion I made to a classmate was to read her blog out loud so that she could see that there were a few words missing and misspelled words.
I'd highly recommend this course to future students but don't take my word for it, why don't you see for yourself? Good luck, hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
