This past week has been so busy for Writing 2! I cannot believe that we are really nearing the end with the course, it flew by. I had to finish WP3 early because I was out of town this weekend so it was interesting not being able to see other people's examples before turning mine in. I missed being able to compare mine to my peers' so I now really appreciate that aspect of the blogs. WP3 was my favorite project of the WPs. I really liked being able to think outside the box and get creative with how I presented the information. I am frustrated with the turnout of the project though. In the end, I now realize that I really should have stuck with my gut. Although my article did have some good information to apply to this project, I really did not have a lot to work with. Compared to other articles, the one I had was very bland. Looking back, I really wish I had tried to switch my article because although I tried my best with what the article provided, my performance still fell flat and I was unimpressed with the grade I received. On a positive note, I really enjoyed the docathon activity that we started in class today. Being able to give feedback on topics that are related to material that we learned throughout the course really made me feel comfortable with how much I learned over the quarter. I also really think that the portfolio is a great part of the class. Being able to reflect and improve upon our work with what we learned is really going to teach me how to better my weaknesses. Although this course has a lot of work involved, I do not think I have improved so much over the course of a few weeks. I am excited to use the skills I have learned and apply them to the rest of my writing endeavors.
