Self-Assessment


            I think my blogs have covered a wide variety of topics, partially because of the given prompts. I enjoyed the current event posts the most because they broadened the spectrum of possible posts. Reading my posts leaves me wanting more in the future. I don’t feel like I discussed my topics in enough depth.  Instead, only giving a brief summary followed by a very brief analysis. The weekly blogging fosters class participation if utilized correctly. I try to use this tool to its full potential. I need to improve on my critical responses to other posts.  My comments on other posts were very short and not very productive to the reader. This class has been my first blogging experience, so I was initially hesitant.
            I have been happy with my participation both in class and the online discussion board. I have not used the Writing Center as much as I could have but my first essay turned out as I wanted it to. I think the lessons on Expository writing serve as concrete definitions of ideas we were aware of. Like most students, I have read process essays, or causal analyses. The lessons transform these abstract ideas into useful strategies for my writing. I make a conscious effort to involve all races in my writing because of the global community. Minorities and well as Caucasians have opinions and add to the overall perspective.
