Final Thoughts on the Course

The school year is wrapping up and it's time to finish up classes. Creative writing class was nothing what I had expected but over all, I enjoyed the class. It was very different from any other class I have taken and I enjoyed the change. I learned A LOT about blogging and how to use the web to create my digital footprint.

My favourite assignment was definitely TBL project, I really enjoyed it because I had the opportunity to be creative and display my bucket list in whatever manner I wanted to. I had a lot of fun doing this assignment. My least favourite assignment was The Newspaper Blackout Poetry assingment because it was much more challenging than expected. I didn't hate it, because it was very different and fun but it was harder than any other assignment. I really enjoyed Friday reading because it was kind of like a break from the week of work. It was nice to just be able to sit there and read because sometimes I feel like I don't have enough time to just read, and I love reading. The Monday Written Reflections were alright, not the most exciting but it was a good way to reflect on what we did in class and what we read. I found the WRN kind of annoying and usually I prefer doing work on paper, but for some reason in this class I enjoyed blogging things better. Blogging was very foreign to me, and I had no idea how to do it or even what to do, but after I got started with my blog I found that I actually liked it. It was an easy was to express myself. Twitter is a fun social network and I enjoyed tweeting because it was simple yet efficiant. Using technology in this course seemed really new to me because I hadn't used computers too often throughout my school years, or as much as I did in this class at least, but it was enjoyable using the web for a majority of my class. I learned that I have been more of an open reader because i'm less judgemental when it comes to choosing a book. I have learned new writing techniques which will definitely help me in my future, and I have opened my mind to new creative ideas. Over all the course was great and The Buried Life aspect of it was definitely the best. It was an educational yet amusing way to keep the class entertained! If I were to eliminate one thing it would probably be the WRN because it wasn't very exciting. I suggest this class to students who are looking to further their digital footprint and looking for something new.
