Week 8 Progress

Image
Looking back, I do not feel that I have done my best work, although I am proud of the work that I have done. I know that I need to step it up moving forward. The thing I am most proud of, so far, is my semester project. I have put a lot of effort into the website and story creation. I would have to say that working on the project is one of my favorite assignments each week, but I do not always do a story, which I also enjoy. My schedule has been hectic since the beginning of the semester so I cannot say that I have a good weekly routine. Actually, my routine has gotten worse as the semester has progressed, i.e., I am doing most of the assignments last minute or not at all. Also, I have not done any of the extra-credit opportunities (I think I have only done one...), which is a BIG mistake. However, when I am working on my assignments, I get really into it and I think I have created some pretty enjoyable stories and a kickass website! Looking forward, I want to change my work ethic.

Week 8 Comments & Feedback

1. Feedback In: The feedback that I have been getting has been great so far! I have a mixture of praise and critical feedback, which are both very much appreciated.

There always perfections and imperfections to be noticed. I have most definitely encountered some stories that have inspired some of my writing, e.g. my Jerry Springer story idea came from the student who did Odysseus on Ellen. 3. Blog Comm...

Week 8 Reading & Writing

(Haunted House) Woo-hoo! We are halfway finished with this Fall semester; it's October which means it's almost Halloween (I am dressing up as Plankton and my boyfriend is going to be Mr. Krabs, what are you going to be?) and the weather is cooling down! I can only hope that we get a snowy winter!  Anyways, I have been having a stressful semester so far and it seems like it is only getting worse, time goes by way too quick! I am, however, enjoying this class a lot. I like how it is set up via the announcement website, blogs, quizzes, projects, etc. The reading and writing assignments are going decently well. I am a little behind which is daunting. I am happy with the layout and design of my Blog page, but I do need to add more stories to it, I have plenty of reading notes though. I am also pleased with my website, although I think I would like to add a little more to it, e.g. moving graphics, choose-your-own-path selections, etc. I have created a couple of good stories...
