With the end of semester coming up and this class coming to an end I had a bit of extra time to reflect on what I have learned. I really enjoyed this class overall and felt that it had a lot of offer as far learning new techniques and giving us the chance to work alongside students and fellow future teachers to help us learn. Although there were a lot of upside to this class I really wish it was a little more structured as far as grading went. A lot of the time I felt lost and didn’t really know exactly what was due when and how I was going to be graded on them. I know Bonnie and Amie have told us we are all doing fine but that still doesn’t prevent me from worrying. I don’t know, maybe that’s just me. While this way of grading didn’t work for me I know that many people enjoy it, it allows for freedom and encourages creativity in our work. Overall I really enjoyed this class and how it went this semester.
I agree with you that I felt lost at times. I was not sure what was due when, or what we were actually going to talk about in class each week. I also felt like we spent a lot of each class period trying to get everyone on the same page, which handcuffed our ability to catch up even further. With all that being said, I did come to love coming every Monday night. It was great hearing what everyone else thought- this was a very strong class of thinkers and writers.
