Final thoughts

I thoroughly enjoyed this class this semester.  Coming into class for the first time I had no idea what to expect from the class.  I knew from a few of my friends that had already taken the class, there was a good bit of writing involved.  This scared me slightly because I do not consider myself the best writer in the world.  I never at one point felt uncomfortable in the class though.  The blog posts throughout the semester helped me with my writing tremendously.  Being able to get out thoughts once a week through writing actually helped me be able to express my words on my larger papers.  I hit a few speed bumps on the first paper but eventually got into a grove and felt great about it by the end of the paper.  The research paper was a bit more difficult for me partly because is was a good bit longer and partly because I choose a difficult topic.  It was hard for me to find sources that gave me a significant amount of information because I formulated my topic on my own and it was not one that had been previously discussed in many academic sources.  I enjoyed the group work during the class periods.  Being forced to discuss different topics with my classmates was quite enjoyable and also gave me insight into other people opinions and the way they approach different situations.  I did not enjoy reading outside of class.  Although the information was not difficult to understand and it was good information, I sometimes felt like it was not relevant to the class.  The final project was very enjoyable for me.  I enjoyed video taping with my group and the paper went quite smoothly.  Other than the readings I have no complaints with the class.  I enjoyed going to it more than any of my other classes all semester.
