Self Assessment

Part 1: Blogging has been interesting. I find myself wanting to convey some great, brilliant, and powerfull message. Unfotunately, I dont feel that I have one yet, just a series of opinions, about several different topics, all of which I dont know are making that much of an impact. I do however, enjoy the fact that I can reach so many so easily, I guess websites like facebook accomplish this as well, but blogging, I think, requires more intelligent thought then posting a status update.
The blog has also brought me to think a little bit more on topics I would not have otherwise given a moment of my time, and I find myself keeping up with current events more than I did before.
Part 2: Through the expository writing aspect of this course I have grown tremendously. As a writer, my pieces have become more organized, and therefore make more sense, and my vocabulary has improved as well. I find my self doing more research and also using resouces like the theasourus for refference and improvement of my papers. I also think I have a better understanding of the MLA format, and I know how to better credit my sources. I am also more confident in using technology, especially blackboard, as I have never used it more for any course.
