The blogging assignment we had to do this semester was different. It gave us a real sense of university, something that we need to be prepared for to the fullest to succeed. I think that the blog helped people learn things out of class that normally we would not even care about. The Blog was a really good idea because we got to give feedback on others blogs through the comment, I like that because we get an opinion from our peers, we can see how we could have covered the topic more thoroughly by looking at the questions that we asked. Knowing how we could have covered the topic more is a great help because the next time we had to blog we knew to be more exact, this really helped our writing skills.

A lot of good things are to be said about the blog assignment, but it wasn’t all thought out to the best. Everybody was assigned a number secretly so the assignment could be anonymous, but that didn’t work to well because the numbers coincided with our alphabetical seating plan. Because people knew everybody’s number it made it more difficult to write, without feeling like your being judged by the other classmates. The other bad part about the blog site was the most people blogged late which made it pretty difficult for the commenter’s to comment on something new without being late.

Other than the numbers and all the late blogs, I think it was a very fascinating assignment. It was very creative and well thought of. It was a lot better than having to write a formal essay on a given topic every couple weeks. Overall, I liked the blogging assignment.
