Week 8 Progress

So far in this class my progress has been okay. I missed a couple too many assignments at the beginning but over the past few weeks I have really gotten into a groove on my course work. Looking forward I am going to need to do some extra credit assignments to get my grade to where I'd like it but that won't be too hard. I have really improved my schedule for this class recently and I think I am going to be able to stick to it and finish the second half of the semester strong.

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

The feedback that I have been receiving over the semester has been great. I wasn't very comfortable with sharing my writing with the whole class because I am not great at creative writing but everything that I have received has been helpful and encouraging. It is all very constructive criticism and has really given me some ideas on how to improve my writing. I have tried to do the same thing in the feedback I give. I don't have any great expertise in writing as i mentioned but I did my best to help with revisions and content. I think my feedback was helpful. The blog comments has been one of my favorite assignments we have done. I really enjoyed reading peoples introductions and there are some very interesting people that I have read about! I also enjoyed writing my own introduction an giving people a bit of an insight into my life. Looking forward I would like to use what I have learned from the comments other people have left me to write better comments for others.

I chose this image because this is how I look at feedback. I want all of my assignments to be perfect so the feedback that recommends I change something is what I really listen to and it makes me try harder on the next assignment.

Week 8 Reading and Writing

I have enjoyed the reading and writing in this class more than I thought would. The readings have been very entertaining for the most part and I'm glad that I have read them and added a little more culture to my life. I have never been a fan of creative writing, so I though I was going to hate that part of this class. In reality, this class has made me hate it a little less. Halfway through the class has really flown by, I'm excited to see what else that class does for me.

Dice Game (Source)

I chose this picture because the dice game was my favorite parts of either epic that we have read. I really enjoyed reading about it and then I included a similar dice game in one of my stories and enjoyed writing about it as well.
