Writing Post

* What did you like best about the writing for this class? What would you like to see more of?

 I really enjoyed the writing assignments for this class, it let me explore creative options that I haven't been able to pursue in a long time.  I thought the amount of writing was plenty.

* Did you choose the Storybook or the Portfolio? Are you happy with your choice? What information should I emphasize to next semester's students when they make that choice?

I chose the Storybook, and I was very happy with that decision.  I would say that the next semester's students should glance through all of the reading units so they don't get stuck with something from the very beginning.

* Do you have suggestions for the commenting process: suggestions about commenting on blog posts? suggestions about comments on Storybooks/Portfolios?

I thought the blog post commenting was fine but I wish that the commenting for the Storybooks were a bit shorter.  I felt like I could make meaningful comments fairly quickly but then I would have to ramble on after that to meet the minimum word amount.

* What kinds of comments did you find most useful as you working on your Storybook/Portfolio?

I found comments that were focused on plot issues were the most helpful.  You can fix typos and grammatical issues easily but if something in your story doesn't flow right it throws the whole thing out of whack.

* Do you think this class helped you to improve your writing?

Definitely, I felt like this class developed my creative writing ability a lot better than it was.

* What kind of writing do you see yourself doing in your future career? Will writing be important in that career?

I really don't know what I plan on doing and if it involves writing.  I doubt it however since I am pursuing a career in the sciences.

* As you look back on your writing this semester, what advice do you have for students who will be getting started next semester?

I would say don't rush it.  Sometimes I would have other work and then I would start doing stuff for this class and churn out something that I didn't like.
