Communicating via Blog
In the beginning of the class, when Prof. Kurpis announced that we have to do a blog assignment for the semester and it accounted 20% of the grade, I think it is too much. First of all, believe it or not, I never use and don't know how to use a blog. Let put it this way, I don't know what a "Blog" is! I heard about the word "blog" but never bother to find out what it is.
Few days before the due date of the first blog, I had no choice but learned what a blog is. I asked my friends and did some research about it. I followed the instruction from the handout, I created my blog. It was my first time to use blog. Every week or two, I have to post a new blog and leave feedback to others. This is my experience of learning and using blog.
I would not say it is useless or annoying. I think it is helpful to me. At least, I learned how to use blog. By blogging, it make me think about the class activeties and how it relates to the book or the lecture. I know more about my classmate since it is a big class, you don't have chance to know everybody in the class. By reading others blog assignments, I explored something that I never thought about in the class, the thoughts and ideas of other classmates, the feedback about the class activities. By reading the Prof. blog, I can learn something not in the book. Sometimes, I felt it was hard for me to understand the Prof. blog, it took me longer time to understand and got the point from the article. May be English is my second language, I suggested Prof. might consider to pick something more easy to understand.
By assigned 8 assignments, I think it is a little bit too much for me, at least. I am a full time student and a full time employee. Everyday I go to work, after work I go to school. By the time I reach home, it is already 10 or 11pm. I don't have energy to study or do homework. I really have no time but to squeeze out some time from other class to do the blog. I know there is no free lunch, I have to work hard for it. It is 20% of my grade. My suggestion is every two weeks one blog is reasonable.
I think I will continue to use the blog after the class over when I have time.
