Self Assessment

 

These past four weeks have been very challenging, and I have had to make a huge number of adjustments. For example, before entering this class I was so custom to writing essays and perfecting them to succeed in my past English classes. This semester is more of a challenge because now I must learn how to write a blog post and adjust to the requirements of creating a blog. Its a big stepping stone coming from a form or writing I was taught to do for years and now learning to put my same ideas into a different form of writing.

The last four blogs I have written met majority of the rubric requirements but, I feel like I need to work on the outline of my blogs and how I word them. The stressful part about writing a blog is trying to carefully choose which words will reach your audience the best. It is a lot different from writing essays because now many of people can view my work and writing publicly which causes me to put a lot more pressure on myself. To become a better blogger and student in this class I need to put a lot more time and effort into my blogs. I tend to procrastinate, and it shows through my writings. I would also like for us to discuss in class how the outline of the blog post should look because although our professor posted an example outline, I would like to go in-depth about it for further understanding. 

Overall, I like that we have expanded our writing into blogs and learned a new form of writing. This class has taught me that there are thousands of blogs post everyday which is mind blowing. I have also learned that bloggers can also get paid for what they do, and blogging can be a source of income. Lastly, I have learned that all blogs are not personal some can be very informative.
