I hope I did enough... I feel like I did, but who can say really. Well YOU can because you counted them all. <BR/>It was a fun semester! A great experience and I'm really glad I did the course after all.<BR/><BR/>-MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686415084630102095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298312567843426829.post-32750900708555974192008-12-08T21:34:00.000-03:302008-12-08T21:34:00.000-03:30Can't say I am a big fan of the whole blog for a m...Can't say I am a big fan of the whole blog for a mark thing but that's just me.<BR/><BR/>I have always hated doing journal entry type assignments.<BR/><BR/>blogs are definitely a step up from the ol' "pass in a journal that no one can comment on, you may never get back, and god knows If your teacher has read it".<BR/><BR/>um...<BR/><BR/>I DO NOT THINK THAT BLOGGING AS A CLASS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA. When people come up with problems they have an easy way to share them, and people with solutions can present them.<BR/><BR/>My beef has more to do with the fact that we must spill out paragraphs in order to please the greater power (Dr. Ross) and get marked on having 12 done.<BR/><BR/>If someone doesn't want to use blogging as a resource, chances are they will not benefit from it<BR/><BR/>If someone enjoys using blogs then they will be a great resource for them to share things with classmates.<BR/><BR/>DO GET THE CLASS PREPARED FOR BLOGS<BR/><BR/>just don't force it (same thing with journal entries though they are worse)<BR/><BR/>I am going to University ($$) to learn very specific things and when I have to write JOURNAL ENTRIES for marks in a composition class I have to take a step back and wonder if this is really a good use of my time and money (especially now that I have exams to study for, although I DO REALIZE that this is entirely my fault)<BR/><BR/>Ho hum... BLOGS ARE A GOOD TOOL, BUT A SILLY THING TO MARK.<BR/><BR/>SORRY.Dylan V-Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623431917508803405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298312567843426829.post-73645169708404980592008-12-08T21:30:00.000-03:302008-12-08T21:30:00.000-03:30This comment has been removed by the author.Dylan V-Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623431917508803405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298312567843426829.post-79517515595887448352008-12-08T16:09:00.000-03:302008-12-08T16:09:00.000-03:30I wish I had been more punctual :-(.It's a lot of ...I wish I had been more punctual :-(.<BR/><BR/>It's a lot of fun to snoop around everyone's blog and comment, but it's also really time consuming and I'm not good at remembering to blog. Next term I promise I'll be better at it!<BR/><BR/>I think the whole blogging thing is a really good idea since it allows us to communicate with each other in a non-classroom setting and we can get our thoughts down in writing instead of passing in papers. I did find that blogging was a big time commitment, especially since I found it pretty time consuming to compose my pieces as well. I guess it was an adequate form of homework, and I should have done more earlier!<BR/><BR/>Blogging is fun :-)Kate Bevan-Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00015672804281752911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298312567843426829.post-45236696150004729902008-12-08T16:07:00.000-03:302008-12-08T16:07:00.000-03:30This comment has been removed by the author.Kate Bevan-Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00015672804281752911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298312567843426829.post-65164103853788496892008-12-08T14:59:00.000-03:302008-12-08T14:59:00.000-03:30In retrospect I wish I had kept track of the numbe...In retrospect I wish I had kept track of the number of comments I have made. It's a little tricky to find out the number. Oh well, I just hope my contributions to the discussions were adequate :)<BR/>Next time I imagine many of us will be more punctual.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881244808934681738noreply@blogger.com
