Week 15: Writing Review
I really loved the storytelling posts, but not so much of
the storybook projects. I felt like my idea was not as easy as I had initially
hoped it would be. I chose to make a storybook instead of a portfolio, and I
wish I had chosen a portfolio. I would suggest future students be constructive
in their comments. They should give compliments but also give things the writer
can improve in their story. I would advise students to really try to improve
their writing skills and to work on areas they are weak in every week.
Week 15: Review of Reading
I really enjoyed the reading for this class. I particularly
love Greek mythology, so that was probably my favorite unit. I will say that I
think there is too much homework in this class. I also thought that the
estimated time for each assignment was way off because it took me much longer.
I also think that there should be less structure in the due dates. Having 1-2
assignments due every day is really difficult for those of us with busy
schedules. I also had a really hard time keeping up with assignments because of
these due dates, and was told I could “work ahead”, but that doesn’t really
help if you are already behind. I think students considering this course should
definitely consider the daily time commitment required. I think the balance
between reading/writing/commenting is decent. However, I do wish that there were
more to do with reading. I would really love if there were some anthology units
available. I think this would be really interesting and would enable you to
look at a specific type of story. I would be interested in maybe some urban
legends, as well. I think those are fun.
