2 cents on COM
blogging is definitley something new to me, prior to this class. i encourage its use and hope the professor continues to exploit it. i think the professor executed his plans very effectively; providing a way for students to learn about and from each other, providing a way to encourage students to think about the class activities, introducing management topics via professors blog (which i found very interesting), and also providing a way for students to easily manage and control 20% of their grade that was not test related. though, some students seemed very passive and absent-minded in their responses, others found blogging as a learning tool; for example, the other day, a classmate asked if i was a junior majoring in accounting. her accuracy bewildered me and when i asked how she knew that, she referred to the blog. in my opinion, blogging is not that dificult, yet it has such a heavy meaning to it, and being that it accounts for 20 percent of our grade, permits a greater incentive why we all should participate! i plan on to continue to blog as i hope you all do to.

I coouldn't agree with you more. This class is the only class that required blogging and it is an experience that we can all learn from. Sure other classes have discussion boards, but it is not something we can use later in life. Come to think of it, blogging is also another thing we have to manage. Getting the blog portfolio together is another great exercise in management. LOL
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that some students learned and used the full benefit of blogging to their advantage. Some students really utilized the portion of their grade that would be affected by blogging while others, such as myself, were more lackadaisical and didn't reap the full benefits from this wonderful opportunity. If only all professors thought of such wonderful exercises.
