What I learned
After taking this course I have learned a lot about myself. Most importantly I learned that I can do a lot of things that I didn’t think I could. Namely, a lot of new technology! I have always avoided technological advances such as wiki, blogging, twitter, and Flickr. It has opened up a lot of doors for me technologically speaking and I am happy that I am now familiar with these things. I am now confident that I can do anything that is thrown my way when dealing with computers. I am glad that I had the opportunity to learn about all of this stuff, as it always looks good on resumes to say that you are computer literate. The second biggest thing that I learned is time management. This course had times when things were due, and when balancing a full time job, a preparation for a wedding, and buying a new home, I always found a way to have my work in on time. Although sometimes it wasn’t until the last minute, it got done none the less. While it was very stressfull at times, I always found time to focus on school and made the time to try to write a quality piece of work. Time management is something that I will use in everything that I encounter and this class is great for learning how to manage. Las but not least, I had the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the writing process. I learned how to critically read a book or article and make sense of them. I ultimately learned how to use sources effectively in a paper, which will be a huge benefit in the rest of my college journey.
