Blogging: Success or Failure???

Before entering this class, I never used a blog and really didnt give a care in the world about them. As the semester went on, I started to little by little enjoy writng blogs and reading them. (Even though I was late on a couple.) As im writing this, I can say that blogging as a part of this class was very successful for me. The main reason why is that in writing every blog, I had to apply terms and ideas that I learned in class and things I observed while doing some of the projects. (Which I also enjoyed a lot) I feel that its easier for me to remember some of the key concepts the professor taught us because of the blogs and that makes it easier to study for me. Another thing about the blogs is that I get to see and read what my classmates are thinking. Most of the time, you are not able to get everyone's opinion on a ceretain topic during class and with the blog everyone gets to voice out their opinion and be heard. Also I feel in control of my grade because in reality, this is an easy 20% towards your grade that requires just your opinion and some time. I always hate professors who put a lot of weight towards one or two tests becausec your putting tremendous pressure on them to ace those tests. You fail or do bad on one, you grade suffers. Here, I feel in control of my grade and the effort I put in will help dictate what grade I get in the class. I've enjoyed writing these blogs so much that I plan on making a new blog as maybe part of a side job or just to get out my opinion on things; ranging from sports topics to government problems. (Look out for it soon).
