Course Reflection

       I usually don't like writing classes, but this one I thoroughly enjoyed because I feel like I got a lot from it. I have always had a tough time when it came to writing, but in this class I didn't. I felt like I wasn't as limited on what I had to write and I was also given a lot of lenience on what I could write which definitely made it a lot easier on me. 

      When beginning this course I really wanted to be able to be a better writer and I think I achieved that. Usually when I go to write a paper I get stuck and I can never think of anything to write about no matter what the topic is. This class really let me open up and I wrote essays and blogs like I never have before. My first project on where I work really taught me a lot because I had never thought about it in the way I was looking at it for my paper. I liked being able to pick my topic, too, because it made it a lot easier to work with. I did get stuck sometimes, but for the most part I had ideas and was able to easily write my papers. 

      I didn't really like the pairings of Translating Tradition with Critical Situations. I did think that some of the stories in them were interesting to read, but I still don't really understand what we were supposed to learn from them in a writing class. 

      I really, really liked the blog project and I actually wish we did them in more classes. Being able to use a conversational tone was what I really liked about it because I felt more free in my writing. I didn't like that anyone can read them, though. Like we said in class, I think for the future you should make it so only the people in the class can read them. :)

Overall, I enjoyed this course. It's one of the only college classes I've had that hasn't completely stressed me out which is always a good thing. I'm glad that I feel like a better writer and I know that what I learned will help me out in the future.
