Half Way Learning Blog

Half Way Learning Blog

At this point we are already three weeks into the second semester and it seems like it is flying by.  As a class we have gotten into the first unit, we have made our own blogs for the class, and we have done a few group activities.  We had a reading assignment on the different types of genre and the way people give you feedback.  It seems to me that as the semester is going on everybody is starting to get familiar with each other, especially since we are getting together for group discussions and projects. 

Throughout these first three weeks I have learned how to make and use my blog for the class.  During the process of making this blog it has taught me how to post and read what others are thinking and the items we talked about in class each day.  I still don’t really know much about the blog and how to work it, but I learn a little more each day I log into it.  I have also learned good ways to pull key information out of papers and get the important parts.  Now that I have put the rubric together I have learned it is not as difficult as I made it out to be. 

As of right now I don’t have any major questions.  Normally the questions that come up during class, I wait until the end of class and ask you as I am leaving.  Like I said, for the half way blog I do not have any major questions.

At first I did not really know how the rubric was supposed to be set up, but now that I have finished the rough draft I have a better idea about it.  I am excited to hear what my classmates have to say about it tomorrow. 

I believe that I am doing a great job getting all of my homework done, and doing the best I can on them.  I will say I am not a big fan of the eight o’clock class but with my schedule that is where it worked best for me.  I feel like the group work the class did on Friday was very helpful.  I have had many group projects where the classmates are not very helpful, but I feel that on Friday my group members were very helpful and cared about helping me.  College could be a different experience for me with group projects, so far my first one was great and I am excited to do more group projects.

I would just like to say I am not a big fan of English, nothing against you, but I believe you are going to make the class fun and it will be easier for me to get through.  I really enjoy the fact of getting in groups and talking to others.  I do enjoy getting comments from peers, but I would like the final comments to come from you.
