Reading Evaluation Week 15

I think there was a good equal balance between reading, writing and commenting in this class. I liked reading the stories that had happy endings. It seemed like a lot of the stories I read were kinda depressing, sad and with sad endings. So I enjoyed when I read a story with a happy one. I also liked reading a lot of the children's stories and stories with lessons in them. Some of the stories I read were stories I had read when I was younger and it was fun for me to re-read them. I got to read Alice in Wonderland at the end of the semester and once I read it I actually re-watched the movie because it reminded me how much I love it.

Week 15 Reflection

          I really enjoyed this class. At first it seemed very overwhelming with something due almost every day, but once I got the hang of it it wasn't bad at all. My favorite part of this class is the work I have created. It will be fun to go back and read the stories i have written int he future. I also like that we used a blog in this class, because of this I am considering creating my own personal blog. I have always wanted to create my own blog about recipes I have made and I think I will finally do it over the summer.

         I liked the schedule of this class, especially with the most points due on Sunday. It allowed me to have Friday and Saturday off if I needed it and then get back to work on Sunday. I really appreciate all the detailed feedback we got on our portfolio stories, it was so helpful to have someone give me that much great feedback. I also like that we actually got to learn a lot about the other people in this class, that is unique for an online class.
