Blog # 5 Ansering the 3 questions (My last Entry)

1. Compared to writing traditional essays as you have in other classes, were the expectations of the blog assignment easier, harder or just different? In other words, was it clear to you what the format of a blog was and how to produce one?

A. The expectations originally, I thought would be much easier then writing a regular essay. But after writing the first one, it was apparent I didn’t like blogging! Nor do I plan to continue writing my blog after this class is over. It just isn’t me at all, I think blog 2 was the easiest and the best blog that I did. The Blogging assignments were definitely harder then I thought it would be. I do feel it was clear to me what was expected, in creating the blog each week. Blog four I felt was hard to complete, due to I just really didn’t have any good material to write.



2. Did the blog assignments, and the requirement to create a blog, relate to the class topics
and course objectives? Why or why not?

A. Yes, for the most part they did. You went over the material well in class, which in turn made
at least me feel that our blogging assignment match the course material that we were covering. I think you can implement critical thinking into any kind of writing style.



3. Did the non-text elements of the blog program contribute to your learning in this class? Did they get in the way? Or did they have no affect at all.

A. Not sure I understand the question here. I learned a great deal in this class about
myself, and how many times that I could of used critical thinking methods in certain situations, to better understand. I will try my best in the future to become a better critical thinker. I’m just not sure that writing the blog’s helped in my learning in this class. The open class debates made me think more critically about certain situations then the blogging assignments did.
