For this assignment, I would like you to respond to the given prompts on this page in the same way we did during the first week of class. Notice the prompts have changed slightly.

Click on the "Reflecting on our Course" page here and then click "EDIT." Then, respond to each prompt (the prompts are numbered and are in quotation marks). Feel free to be creative! You can use any color, font, pictures, and/or anything else you can think of!

THE ONLY THING I ASK IS THAT YOU LEAVE THE WRITING PROMPTS UNTOUCHED SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT TO RESPOND TO. This is meant to be an interactive experience for students, one that allows every student to edit the same page to create a class page. Once you have written your responses on the page, complete the EXTRA CREDIT DISCUSSION BOARD in this week's module.

**PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THE PREVIOUS STUDENTS' REPSONSES: THE GOAL IS TO HAVE EVERYONE'S RESPONSES VISIBLE ON THE SAME PAGE**

1. "I LEARNED__ IN THIS CLASS"

I learned in boating school is

I learned how to successfully cite my sources when I am using a lot of info.

- to be on the lookout for run-on sentences and comma splices.

- I learn that each paragraph must have a top sentence because that is what is going to be discussed in the paragraph. I also learned the differences about ethos pathos and logos.

-I learned how proper argumentation should look like and how to effectively embed quotes to created a stronger argument.

- I learned how to be a more proactive and hardworking student.

-I learned how to be more socially and grammatically aware of the things I say, and the things I post does have an effect on me and the people reading it.

-That you need to have topic sentences in the body of your paper, that support the thesis.

Still learning how to optimize time; but what I did learn means so much more — the deeper value of education (and I already thought highly of education). There’s a push to appear to be on top of everything without taking the time to absorb the lesson. The reading and critiques forced us to look closely at what we’re doing not only as students but as human beings.

I learned how to support a claim with a quote and I learned how to use facts to make a stronger essay.

I learned to consistently stay on track of this class and put in work to develop better writing skills.

I learned how to properly word my sentences and avoid comma slices. I also learned how to incorporate evidence more efficiently.

I learned how to integrate my evidence effectively in my essays and also learned how to be more time efficient.

I learned more about creating a strong argument while also still having my own personal style and flow.

2. "ONE THING THE PROFESSOR DID WELL IS...ONE THING THE PROFESSOR COULD IMPROVE ON IS..."

One thing the professor did well is communicate effectively in a online course.

- One thing the professor did well is manage the class and make sure that we had all the materials we needed to succeed.

- One thing the professor could improve on is nothing.

- One thing the professor did well is picking interesting course materials and providing clear directions. I have no suggestions for improvement.

- One thing the professor did well was providing a lot of helpful information and resources that helped me throughout the course.

- One thing that the teacher did well is creating an organizing the weekly assignments. In addition she choose interesting materials for the course and provided clear instructions. I have no suggestions for improvement, she did really good.

-The professor did an amazing job with organizing the class so everything was easily accessed. She also did a thorough job of explaining each assignment so I never felt the need to email her her clarification. I don't think there are areas of improvement.

-The professor did well on giving feedback when it comes to essays.

- I think the professor did a great job of teaching the class about correct structure for essays and the importance of the thesis statement. The professor was very open with communication and has been extremely fair.

Not to be repetitive, but the one thing the professor did exceptionally well is put together a curriculum that provoked critical thought. It wasn’t just an exercise; the material is relevant to what is going on in real life. It takes more than intelligence to put together such a program; it also takes a person who cares that their students learn.

One thing the professor did well was design an excellent curriculum that helped me stay interested in this class, but one thing that might need a little improvement is that a few exercises that were given should come before a few others. I need to take a look back but there was one discussion that came after a paper was due. Perhaps it could have come before it was due because if I can't figure out an assignment it throws me off with the concept of time and I may have a problem completing my other assignments.

One thing that the professor did well was give good feedback of papers in order for myself to do better on others.

One thing the professor did well was keep the class very organized and always interesting. Throughout the semester everything was easy to follow and all due dates and assignments were very organized. All of the topics were interesting and eye opening. One thing the professor can improve on is maybe giving a little more feedback on essays.

One thing the professor did well was encourage and facilitate genuinely interesting and relevant topics of discussion, that allowed us as a class to dig deeper for all assignments.

3. "TO SUCCEED IN THIS CLASS, I HAD (TO)..."

To succeed in this class, I had to really make time for the HW and be able to effectively stay on track with all my other classes.

- To succeed in this class, I had to use out of the box thinking strategies and keep up with what assignments were thrown at me.

- make time for my homework.

- Sometimes I took enough time to work on each assignment and sometimes I started working in advance.

-I had to actually read from the text book because the quizzes were very specific and most of the discussion posts had to do with the articles found in the book.

-To succeed in this class, I had to abandon my habit of procrastination and had to improve my writing skills.

-I had to focus on the reading materials because they do show up on quizzes and help with the discussion boards

- Put in the time to set up outlines of my essays to make sure that I was using the correct structure, and then make sure to hit the deadlines.

To succeed, I had to be determined to complete the assignments, and in a way that I learn what I need to insure success in future classes. I had to set intentions.

To succeed in this class I had to complete the assignments that took less time and then I had to work my way to the harder ones.

To succeed in this class, I had to put in work!

To succeed in this class I had to stay on top of all my assignments and make sure that I wasn't procrastinating any essays until the last minute.

To succeed in this class I had to prioritize a couple of times a week to work on the assignments instead of leaving it all for Sunday night at 7pm.

4. "SOMETHING I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE IN THIS CLASS IS.... "

Dont wait until the last minute.

- Less procrastination.

- procrastinate a little bit less.

- Ask questions about how to fix the mistakes of my essays.

-I wish I put in more effort when doing peer reviews.

-I wish I would have spent more time on the first three essays because I think it would've improved my overall grade.

-Paid more attention to peer reviews.

- Done a little better on my first essay, probably needed to give it more time.

I should have taken fewer courses. I certainly approached the material seriously, but needed to have better – much better – managed my time. Allowing enough time throughout the week optimizes learning and the process itself. Much easier to stay on top of it, than having to revisit an assignment.

Something that I wish that I would have done is that I wish that I made more time to organize my essays a little more in order to get a better grade.

Something that I wish I would have done is not procrastinate as much and manage my time more wisely.

Something that I wish I had done better in this class is reply back to some of my peers that responded on my posts.

Something I wish I would have done was interact with my peers more and read everyone's discussion posts.

5. "THE ONLINE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT WAS..."

Very easy and even educational without the classroom.

- ...nice! I enjoyed how everything was laid out.

-The online classroom environment was great because it was well-organized and the other students were helpful in their feedback.

-The online classroom environment was very helpful, I had the best experience in this online class compared to the others that i'm taking.

-The online classroom was very interesting because the discussion were very well organized and each student provided good points of view.

-The online class environment was pretty great, even though the only discussions amongst our peers was from discussion posts. I do miss the traditional environment of a classroom because the voices add more character behind the argument.

-The online classroom environment has a lot less pressure since no one is actually looking at me or at my back

- was perfect to enable me to work and tailor my schedule and allow me to earn my degree.

The environment was thoughtful and provocative. Also, the layout is good. One aspect I really like is the YouTube lectures. I’ve taken several online courses; I’ve had only one other professor who used YouTube. Although they require more time than face-to-face classes, I prefer online classes. Still, we miss out on the intuitive aspect of learning that occurs in the classroom.

The online environment was fun it gave me a chance to visually see other peoples writing skills so that I can improve my own.

The online enviroment was great and very well organized in terms of how thungs were laid out as well as the pace.

The online environment was one of the most active ones i've ever been involved in. The discussion boards had good discussion occurring every week.

The online classroom environment was better than any in class English course I have ever taken. Despite there being zero face to face interaction the material and homework allowed for more thoughtful and deep discussion.

6. "THE COURSE THEME 'THE DANGER OF A SINGLE STORY' WAS....."

Very interesting because it could be incorporated into alot of modern world events.

- The course theme 'the danger of a single story' was helpful because it opened up my mind to why stereotypes are so deadly.

- The course theme was interesting to me since I am a social sciences major, but it was also important because many college students are learning to consider other perspectives for the first time through their coursework.

-It was very touchable for my because I Am a person that loves the diversity and believes in the equality of all human beings.

-The course theme "the danger of a single story" was very interesting and it made me have a different perspective when it comes to stereotypes.

-I was in love with the course theme to begin with because it pushed and reminded us to look beyond what is there.

-The course theme was like a web that connected everything the professor gave us and the book materials.

- The course theme, the danger of a single story, was a great way to introduce the class to a theme that would become a valuable teaching tool, as well as the need for many stories.

The theme is relevant to what is going on in society today. There are two lessons we need to better navigate life - how to love ourselves and how to not judge others. The Danger of a Single Story is about passing judgment, on others and ourselves. There is a boomerang effect, hurting both the victim and perpetrator.

The course theme the Danger of a Single Story was very interesting and I'm sure it got a lot of people thinking about their own lives and how they should be open to new ideas and new opportunities. I like the fact that you made people take a look at their own lives and compare the day that they were once judged and why not to do it to others.

The course theme "The Danger of a Single Story" was actually a healthy topic in which im gllad we talked about. It was interesting to dissect and help us understand and apply in our own lives.

The course theme "The Danger of a Single Story" was a very interesting topic to learn more about. I really misjudged how dangerous stereotypes were and really how there is always more than one side to every story. This class opened my eyes to hearing both sides of every story before jumping to a conclusion.

The course theme from Chimamanda and "The Danger of a Single Story" was an eye opening and inspiring topic to start the course on. Her story is so bold and awesome and it really allowed us to open up and be vulnerable about the topic right off the bat.

7. DID THE COURSE MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS? WHY OR WHY NOT?

Yes it was informational in the form of a online class which can be hard to do some times.

- Yes, the course met my expectations and if I went back in time and was asked to take it then I would do it again gladly! The class was easy to follow and the workload was more than reasonable.

- The course met my expectations because it was clear-cut and the workload was reasonable.

-Yes, the course met my expectations because I learned how to prepare an essay. The course also helped me to improve my English (vocabulary) because it is my second language and sometimes I did not know some words.

- Yes, the course met my expectations because I learned how to develop more effective arguments. I also learned how to improve embedding evidence in my essays.

-The course 100% met my expectations. This online course is a lot more organized than my other course and I felt like the professor was here to actually help me, not just grade my coursework and give me more.

-It did. I expected a lot of interaction between my fellow students and my professor.

- The course met my expectations because I knew I would be writing and honing my skills, and that's exactly what happened.

The course exceeded my expectations. Writing a paper is one thing; understanding how to put together the components is another. What I wanted to learn was how to put together the components. I still have more to learn but have come a long way.

This course definitely meet my expectations because it was definitely designed much better than the other online classes that I have taken. The teacher is very understanding and very supportive. Although I would have like a little more feedback on how to improve the structure of my papers because I know that that is something that I struggle with.

The course definitly met my expections and then some in a positive way. After taking this course, I feel as though I have definitely improved on my writing ability.

The course did meet my exceptions because it constantly pushed me to challenge myself when writing essays. The class was challenging but in a good and fun way.

The course met all of my expectation and allowed me to think more openly and mindfully, not only do I believe my writing has improved, but I have taken away so much more than just a check in the box to earning a degree. This course was equally fruitful and challenging and I would recommend it to anyone in the future, Professor Kuhn knocked it out of the park for sure!
