I liked how this class was pretty straight-forward in giving directions. I had never used the blogging website before but it was easy to figure out how once I read the directions. I don’t really understand, however, why we cannot use the discussion forum on blackboard. I have used that for other online classes and it just seems to be easier and work smoothly – you can see everyone’s posts (that way there is no confusion as to how many times someone posted for the week) and it is all clearly laid out in the forum. I think it would be much easier and make more sense to use blackboard for everything (assignments, posts, etc.) rather than having to go back and forth between the blogging website and blackboard to read about assignments and then post them.
What I also found to be interesting about this class is that it was my hardest one! I have had so much more work to do in this class than any of my other classes and I am a full time student! My other online classes have been pretty easy but this one does not compare to those.

ReplyDeleteNice analysis of the class. I didn't know any forum existed on here, but you're right in that it would seem easier to keep track of everything on there than on here. I know in the beginning of the semester I was VERY confused by the set up; I couldn't even figure out where Carol's blog was... I got to it, but didn't realize it was the blog. And signing into the blogger site and figuring out how to post was challenging, too.
This was definitely not my hardest class, but it did have a lot of writing and work in it. I guess because the assignments were very straight-forward and well explained that it seemed like less than what it really was.
