Evaluation

Blog
This course is exactly what I expected from the beginning. After a few weeks, I really enjoyed blogging about the various topics that we were assigned to write about. Sometimes, I thought that I just wanted to write about one of my trips or free write, but it forced me to evaluate different aspects of my experience. Thus, looking back I appreciate the assigned posts. I did not have a problem getting the blogs in on time. At first I thought it was going to be one post a week and then it changed to every five days, which was a little bit much sometimes, especially if I was traveling when the blog was due (like now, for example, I am posting this blog early because I am going to Amsterdam for the weekend). My only suggestion is to keep up with the assigned blogs and maybe remove a few and allow for more open topics. I know that students may or may not struggle with the open topic blog, but it could also produce more creative and interesting posts as well. Overall I feel like it was a great experience that allowed me to reflect on my study abroad program in many different ways and I am grateful that now I have my thoughts and memories collected in one place on the Internet.
