Final Class Reflection


I have never had too much trouble with writing, but usually I also do not enjoy it very much. Although I do not enjoy writing very much, I know that it is an effective way to communicate with others and that is why it is necessary in life, no matter what we choose to do or become. My impression about writing did not change much throughout the semester, although I did learn much more that I could take with me from this point on and continue to use. The assignment(s) that I personally enjoyed most was the Documentary Film and the Opinion Piece. I enjoyed these two assignments the most because I was able to advocate for something and integrate my point of view into both. The assignment that I probably enjoyed the least was the Literature Review, because I was not able to state my viewpoint on the situation, I had to remain mutual to both sides, which I found very complicated. When we first discussed this assignment in class it did not sound too difficult, but it turned out that it is much easier said than done. I know that I will use most of the skills I have acquired in this course; everything that we have learned can be used for the rest of my student life and my career as well. One skill would definitely be being able to not pick a side when writing about a specific topic, such as in the Literature Review. Another skill would be the different ways that I had to acquire my information and limit the information to only exactly what I needed. The final skill would be time management; my time management skills definitely improved in this class because it was a hybrid course it was very different from any of my other courses. Overall I enjoyed this course and I do not see many things that require improvements. The only thing that I am able to suggest is to maybe discuss the assignments in more detail, sometimes I felt a little lost when working on the assignment. But I also understand that there is a major time limit on the discussion time since it is a hybrid course.
