I always wanted to write a blog, but I never got the opportunity to ever do it. Call it laziness. Perhaps even lack of motivation. Whatever the reason, I had no choice this time. This blog was mandatory, and in a way an experience in a class that I experienced like no other.
At first, I was definitely a little iffy on my style of writing. Did I have to write formal-- I mean we are in college. And as soon as the first blog ended, I found out that we had the freedom to do what we wanted. Just by our style of writing, we had to the opportunity to learn more things about each other in a different way than we would face to face.
We mask our "true" personalities when we are in school, that we forget that our other colleagues are in fact people-just like us. Blogging definitely got to show us our "real" side, which is nice for a change.
While most professors would give papers on a specific question, our blogs were extremely open and general. There was no right or wrong answer, no dumb or good answer. And I am sure others got to see the different perceptions on what people thought about the different activities of this class.
Since each midterm was worth 20% of the grade, I think this definitely was points thrown at us for us to use and improve our grade drastically. While most professors provide extra credit of 1 or 2 %, we had a 20% grade that we were able to control. And of course, since this is management, why not allow each student to manage 20% of their grade throughout the course.
As of blogging again...ABSOLUTELY!!! It had been super fun and an experience that I would love to last. I wish I was a good writer, but I'm sure my style with develop after more writing. After all, practice makes perfect!
