Week 15: Online Education Review

I actually hated taking online courses until I took Mythology and Folklore last semester. Both that class and this one were so perfectly structured, yet relaxed at the same time. I allowed me to take responsibility and made me feel as though I was in charge, which is probably why I was so determined to keep up with everything. I never wanted to disappoint myself.

The class was structured perfectly. It allowed me to do everything in little increments, rather than lump everything together that just due in one day like many other online classes. This made me feel as though I was constantly achieving my goals for the class and kept me on task.

Week 15: Gen. Ed. Review

What I liked most about this class was the freedom, the creativity, the positivity, and the flexibility. So many of the Humanities classes here feel like torture because they are a requirement, but these classes were actually fun! I actually felt a real connection to this class, which is something incredibly rare. Surprisingly, this class actually taught me a lot about myself as a person. It put a lot of things into perspective for me and allowed me to be proud of my work for once.

Week 15: College Writing Review

As a communication major, I generally have to do a lot of writing. Unfortunately the writing for those classes are absolutely pointless, degrading, and robotic. There are almost always tricks or rules that the professors want us to use but never tell us. I cannot tell you the amount of times I followed the instructions to the letter, and then got a lower grade than I was expecting because I "did not include" something they wanted. Even though what they wanted me to include was not in the instructions.

I definitely like this class and Mythology and Folklore a whole lot more! I actually think that these two classes have improved my writing and opened a door to new experiences and hobbies I would have never been interested in trying. I definitely think that all writing should encompass an element of creativity, and it is a shame when you are not allowed to.
