Evaluation/Reflection

Submitted by Radek on Fri, 05/08/2009 - 11:12

Overall, I have mixed feeling about the course. I liked the diversity of assignments but often wanted more “open topics” than specified ones. I feel like I had many experiences that were not conducive to talking about considering each assignment.
I think the amount of work was appropriate, however, since this is a blogging class minus the classroom, I sometimes would forget to blog. It would have been helpful to have maybe a monthly email reminder to the class just saying, hey these blogs are do on this date and that.
I think my favorite topic was the departure/arrival posts. In hindsight, it is interesting to look at the class’s expectations of the places they are studying in comparison to their thoughts now.

I agree, with some difference.

I think that more open topics would be great, but at the same time feel like it was a good thing we were forced to go outside and explore a bit more.

I do agree with a lot of your

I do agree with a lot of your evaluation on the course. I too thought that more 'open topics' would have improved my outlook on the course. To be able to discuss and reflect on more personal experiences during my travels and get feedback from other students would have been more appealing. The work was definitely appropriate, with the reading not too difficult. And yes, I too forgot to blog. And with traveling I would most of the time be behind.
