Final Thoughts

Comp 106 has been an awesome experience for me. I have never had a blog before and in fact, never knew how to even make one. That was one of the biggest things I learned: how to set up a blog and turn in assignments online. I am not very technologically savvy so at times I had problems with it, but now, I think I have finally mastered it. It was actually quite fun to see what everyone else in class was up to. My favorite part was looking at everyone’s Activity 2, just because it was so visual and a lot of the songs were songs that I knew. I loved to see how different people in our class portrayed words differently. I also liked to update my own blog and try out different fonts and colors to make it visually appealing.
My favorite assignment was Module I because it was very hands on. I actually went to Detroit, walked around, found things that interested me and related to my topic, and took pictures. I then edited them and highlighted a single color that I felt would depict what I was aiming to depict. It is very rare to have that kind of experience in a Composition class. Not only that, but this assignment was challenging at the same time. It wasn’t easy find exactly the kinds of pictures I had in mind, but it gave me a good opportunity to really walk around Detroit and get a sense of the city that I don’t know that well. I also enjoyed writing about my pictures because I feel like the topic I chose is very important and quite pertinent in current times. I am actually quite proud of all the work I did in this class. All the topics were so interesting that I would not like to go back and revise anything. As I go back and read my older works from this class, I still like them all and besides minor grammar mistakes, I would not want to revise anything.
Lastly, now that Comp 106 is over, I definitely intend on using my knowledge of creating blogs to make my own personal blog. This will allow me to record anything I may want to and allow my friends and family to read them.
