Week 8 Progress

I am satisfied with the progress that I have made so far this semester. I have been able to complete all the required assignments so far, and I intend to continue to do so as this class heads to its final weeks. I do wish I was more strict on completing extra credit assignments as I do have the time to do so but have just lacked the discipline. In terms of my blog and website, I feel like I have a good handle on the schematics and control, and I have not really been limited in my ability to use either platform. Looking forward, I plan on exploring more of the blog and website options so I can perhaps enhance the presentation of both. Additionally, I hope to really analyze the comments of my classmates and Dr. Gibbs to improve my writing.

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I would say that the comments that I have received so far have been very helpful in improving my writing both in my blog and storybook. Specifically for my storybook, the comments have allowed me to configure my website in a way that is more accessible for the users.

For example, because of my comments, I am thinking of making my website more like the common app by creating resumes for my Greek figures, admission requirements, and more details in my intro. I feel like my comments have been helpful for other students. I really try to focus on concrete aspects of their stories that can enhance the story or make it less confusing for the reader. Commenting has also allowed me to interact with others in the class which is something that I have not experienced before in my other online classes. Looking forward, I hope my classmates continue to critique my writing and storybook so that I can continue to improv...

Week 8 Reading and Writing

Reflecting back on my coursework this year, I am satisfied with my progress in my blog and storybook. This is the first time that I have ever blogged, so it is a new but rewarding experience. I enjoy being able to read stories from different cultures. Additionally, completing the reading notes each week has allowed me to keep the stories fresh in my mind while I retell the stories later in the week. My favorite stories to read were the Indian fairy tales as I enjoy fun, and short stories with a witty ending. These stories remind me of my childhood reading stories like these often which probably explains my attraction to them when I am in a new unit. I think my biggest accomplishment in this class is truly engaging and understanding with the stories. Some of the stories are from cultures that I do not really know, so I have really tried to understand research the stories so that I can grow my knowledge. Looking forward, I am excited to continue my storybook project. I was really excite...
