English 100 Reflections

Blogging

Although familiar with blogging as one of many features in the internet world, for me it has been a new personal experience and an unexpected aspect of the English 100 online experience. The guided but flexible format allows for some individual creative expression. The formal yet informal atmosphere offers a breather from more traditional paper-writing, while still challenging ones composition capabilities. It demonstrates that the classroom learned skills have a practical application in the diverse situations we encounter daily. Blogging has perfectly integrated the structured academics of English online class learning and internet cultures; an embraced characteristic that would have otherwise been missed.

Honorably Mentioned Assignment

Each assignment has its subjective qualities, both personally and socially. Considering the academic perspective, the research paper offered the opportunity to develop the collective reading and showing skills learned throughout class, therefore very beneficial and all encompassing. The emphasis on processing research and applying annotated bibliographies was enlightening and a call to create order. The research project is the class beginning of the end, the one with high intensity and more detailed expectations in it's final presentation. Applying such writing skills to future studies can easily encompass every area of study imaginable, whether required or not. Practically applied within a career setting, these systematically acquired writing skills may improve individual confidence and project a more diverse, professional-quality image.
