Favorite and Least Favorite Things
Overall, I really enjoyed the fact that the concepts we learned in Comm 41 were relatable to real life experiences and skills. That's what I like most about communication classes in general! I have learned a lot this semester that I think I can apply to my life now and after I graduate and begin working within my field. The section that was my favorite from the Boss textbook was marketing. I think marketing is a fascinating field (I wish I had chosen it for my minor). The Boss textbook highlights information that is useful and applicable. One thing that I didn't care for was the three group projects. It was really difficult to get five students from an online class together. With both groups, I found it tough to find a day and time that everyone was free to have a group meeting. I know at most of us are juggling classes and work, so it made it a challenge to come together.

I totally agree with you. A lot of the things we did learn in this class were easily relatable to our own real life situations. By making the concepts relatable to our lives, I believe it made it easier for me to be able to understand what we were learning. But, most importantly, like you said it will help us to be able to apply it to our lives since what we learned was something that I believe everyone should be learning since I believe everyone needs to sharpen up their critical thinking skills. In most classes, you tend to just learn that information for that short period of time and probably just forget about it but I believe the information I learned from this class will be things that I will be able to use for the rest of my life.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your point of view. In my stance, I chose to take an online class so that I can more easily juggle my time with being in various clubs, school and work. Having to meet with my group made it difficult to accurately complete the assignment. Although I think that group works are important and helped me with my skills, it was difficult for some of the students to earn a grade that I feel like I deserved. Just like you said, I thought that this class helped me better my skills as a critical thinker.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s unanimous!!!!!! After looking at multiple blog posts, I think it’s easy to say that everyone despised the group work. It was extremely difficult for my group to find a time that fit everyone’s availability. However, I must admit, I think some people made their schedule more difficult to fit just because they were dreading meeting in the group and getting a head start on the assignment. I don’t know if it was just my group members, or across the board with the entire class, but my thought is that people who chose to take an online class wanted minimal requirements and time constraints.
