Course Reflection

#19
The blogging system was a very new addition to the course for me. It was well planned out and helped how we only had certain weeks to do one post or one blog and not something every week, well until the end. I liked how we got an entire week to make our post or comment because then it gave us lots of time to plan it out according to our schedule too and it gave us time if we forgot one night that we still had til the end of the week left before it was due.
The blogs helped me understand alot of concepts about biology that I didn't get in class or that I always wondered about. If we were to post a blog, we had to research on the interent which was alot easier then looking it up in a textbook and also gave alot more information about the topic. However, when we had to comment, we had to read someone else's blog and then reflect. In addition, either job we had, we still learned alot about the topic.
Another concept I enjoyed about the blog was how we had many choices. We got to pick from a list of topics to post a blog about and when we commented, we were able to choose the most interesting to us.
One thing I didn't like to much about the blogs was how alot of people didn't post on their assigned week so it made it hard for the commenters to get their job done on time when the others didn't. However, after a while, we were allowed to comment on anyones post so that we didn't have to suffer being late.
