Week 15

I feel that my biggest improvement would be my writing skills all together. I was never really good at writing, but this course has taught me how to write in a whole new way, a whole new perspective. Another big improvement would have to be my attitude towards writing. I never liked to write because I have always had trouble with it. This class has truly taught me a lot about the writing process. Although my writing has gotten much better I still struggle with one thing; and that would be my choice of words. I have so much to say at times that I can't write it all at once and my words get all jumbled in my mind and that is how they come out on the paper. It's not as bad as it used to be, but I still struggle with it.

I think the class was conducted very well; however, I think I would have benefited from more conferences, or at least a conference for the mini-ethnography. I think the comments in the margins are very helpful, but I feel like I get more information about how my progress is on my paper when there is a conference. I know a lot of people were complaining about the amount of reading, but I actually thought that it helped. The only thing about the reading is that there was a large amount to read, at times, and I also had 5 other classes to do homework for that made it a bit of a hassle to get through. So what I am suggesting is that there be less out of class reading and maybe (if you can fit it in) to have a class time to read a story or a lesson. Like I said before I thought the class was administered very efficiently and it helped me and my writing process so maybe it doesn't need to change.
