In this final blog posting of the semester, I'd like you to reflect on your progress throughout the course. What do you feel you have really improved on within the fifteen weeks? What do you still struggle with? Explain. (Consequently, the answers to these questions can pertain to your writing process, the way you conduct research, organizational skills, critical reading skills, or whatever else you can think of). Lastly, provide a suggestion or several suggestions for how the class could be conducted more efficiently in the future. Is there an assignment you think could be reworked? Would you have benefited from more conferences? Less conferences? Etc. etc.
I feel I have gotten better on my writing in general and getting my ideas on paper because, before i came to this class it was really difficult for me to do that. I had trouble staying focused when given readings. I find that when I try to read something like that I can get done with a chapter or story or even paragraph and not remember what I read. I feel like I would be more motivated to do blog postings if it wasn't about our topic. There was one blog posting I really enjoyed and it had nothing to do with our mini-ethnography or our subculture, it told us to describe a "special place". I feel if you did more blog posting not pertaining to the mini-ethnography people would be more enthusiastic. I think another problem was, was after a while all the blog postings started to sound the same and I had to ask myself "didn't I already do this posting"? As for the conferences, I thought these were great. For me one on one time with a teacher is important. I feel like you should have conferences after ever rough draft for your class it really helped me a lot.
