OC#1:: regarding this class

i guess my main "beef" with this class is that, because we don't meet, i often don't think about posting much, and i probably don't take it as seriously as some of my other classes. it's easy to put off assignments when you don't have a specific time every day, or even every-other day, to complete them.

i understand that reading, critiquing and analyzing internet articles in order to strengthen critical thinking skills is really important to the class, but at the same time, many classes offered at linworth often involve internet research to begin with.
frankly, i like having a lot of freedom when it comes to post topics. i like being able to rant about whatever, but i do agree that at least a few posts each week need to be themed or about a certain subject, just because that gives us a little guidance and gives us the chance to express opinions in addition to just talking about whatever.

although i initially thought this would be a great class to take, particularly with my penchant for casual writing and my history/experience in blogging, i've found that it's almost harder to keep up with a required school blog that in my own personal one. i feel a little bit boxed in, but at the same time, i understand the pros of the restrictions we do have.
