Week 8 Progress

Formula for success, source: Pixabay I am not very happy with the progress I've made in this class. I am not doing very bad either. If I finish all my assignments this week, according to the progress chart, I will barely make with a B this week. One of the things that is affecting me the most is that I haven't got a good routine for this class. Is not that I don't have a good plan, it's just that I don't stick to it. Because of this, I end up doing most of the assignments last minute. The class assignments that I enjoy the most are the readings, I find them very interesting. The stories are also fun, but since I am not a very good writer, I don't enjoy them as much. I am using some of the extra options, but they are mainly to make up for missed assignments. I am planning on using more extra credit to catch up and get ahead in the following weeks. Building and developing the blog was really nice, and I've had really got the hang of it. Considering...

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Source Overall, I would rate the quality of the comments I get pretty good. Everyone is very polite and helpful. I found some comments that only included positive things or pointed out how good the story was and what they liked. While those comments are very uplifting, I think a good combination of what you liked in the story and what you didn't, or what could have been improved is a great comment.

The WWW feedback strategy has been working for me really well. I always try to be as helpful as possible when providing feedback. I think that blogs introductions and blog comments are an excellent way to connect with people in the class. Especially in the online setting that we have. I am happy with my intro...

Week 8 Reading & Writing

Scylla and Charybdis, Source  EuroScientis This is one of my favorite pictures so far. It is from a scene in Homer's Odyssey. I liked the way Scylla and Charybdis were drawn in this image.  Looking back at my reading and writing, I wish I had more time to complete the writing and stick to my schedule. I enjoy the reading, but I have not completed some of the writings. It's sometimes really hard for me to write up a story because I find a little difficult to get them started. If I don't have a good idea for the story, I end up procrastinating until there is no time to finish it. Looking through the storytelling ideas article has really help me. I am really happy with my blog and the project website. I don't see me changing many things in the future for them. I'm satisfied with the writing for the project, and I really liked the stories that I have there. My favorite reading so far has been Ovid's Metamorphoses. I think one of the biggest accomplis...
