Week 16 Rate the Class

If I understand this assignment correctly, we are to rate the class, good or bad, whatever we actually think.
Hmmm. Ok.......

Overall, I liked the class. I particularly liked the blogging format. I had not realized that I would enjoy blogging as much as I do. I would not have liked the more traditional 'print" form of journalism nearly so much. I think blogging plays more to my interests than regular journalism would have.

I would have a suggestion though. It might work better, and keep people from sliding behind, if assignments were given out on a particular day, and always due the next week by a particular day. Some online courses follow that format, and it makes it easier to keep track of assignments, eg, my new writing asssignments come out on Tues morning, and they are always due before 11:59 pm on the following Monday. If it isn't done by then, there is a consequence to suffer. Plus that way I always know exactly how many days until the next assignment is due without having to check. Another thing that might be worthy of consideration, in my online courses we MUST read and comment on our classmate's work. Each week. It is an incentive to finish my work in a timely mannner, because I know my classmates will be checking it out. And it is interesting to see how other people may approach an assignment very differently from the way I did.

Other than that, I liked the course. Thanks for all your work trying to turn us into aspiring journalists. : )

Bye, and good luck to all of us!
