Blog 4: Reflection

At first, I had thoughts of having a difficult semester with taking english class 102 as well as the extreme boredom of having to write alot of papers. Now that two weeks have passed, I can see now that my early assumption of this particular english class was wrong. I enjoy blogging my assignments online. It's fast, easier, and actually fun to learn and use. This web tool by google helps me to connect with my peers, classmates and my professor; it's very similar to using facebook. Blogger.com keeps me up to date with the assignments and other blog postings. Hearing in the beginning that this class will be doing works on supernatural literature, it made me realize just how much fun it is to write/type a paper you actually want to engage yourself in. Reading the work of other classmates has made me become aware of the extent and richness of writing, thinking, and effort put into their postings. Doing lots of research online takes patience and hardwork. Researching material online using trusted sites and scholarly articles is still pretty new to me. I am mostly familiar with using google, wikipedia, and yahoo search engines to do my research. So far in class I enjoy meeting my classmates and having discussions during groupwork. Communicating and sharing ideas contributes greatly into my own knowledge and it helps me to think of ways on how I can become a better writer. What I'd really like to know is that if we'll have to do our midterms and final online as well? LOL
