Journal Writing.

Journal Writing. WEDNESDAY, 17 DECEMBER 2008-->

"How do I feel right now about journal writing?"

In my opinion, journal writing is very relieving. By writing journals, it helps me to organize my thoughts and review them clearly. By reading what I have written after, I can contemplate the situation thoroughly in different perspectives. Because I have only written in journals for my own personal recreation, I'm not exactly sure how I would feel using them for a class. I wouldn't doubt that I may like it better than writing by hand. I think it would make me actually want to write because it would save a lot of time and prevent my fingers from being sore.

"How might journaling help me as I navigate Senior Project Seminar?"

As I stated previously, journals can help me stay organized. Because I have the tendency to forget things quickly, writing in journals can help me back track and remember everything that I have learned. I'm sure without a doubt that I'm going to receive an overwhelming amount of information this last semester from my senior project, with that being said, using a journal could help me record everything that I've learned, when, and my opinion on it.

Grading.

Grading our blogs, in my opinion, is going to be hard because everyone is going to have their own amount of what they would like to write in their blog. Everyone has different time schedules and such, one student may not have learned as much as the other so grading would be different for everyone. In my opinion, the blogs shouldn't be graded on how much is written because it's obvious that the majority of the class seems to prefer blogging so, in my opinion, everyone will write as much as they can. I think that as long as us students do create our blogs like when were supposed to then we should get a 100%. As for the sufficiency of the blog, I think the blogs should definitely be more than a paragraph. I don't think a student should get full credit for a sentence because that's not the point of a blog. As long as it is obvious through the blogs that the student is on top of what their doing, they should get full credit. If it's obvious that the student is completely b%&#$*-@^;` the entire thing then they do not deserve full credit.
