Week 8 Progress

Overall, I am pretty proud of the progress I have made during these last few weeks in Indian Epics. From week 1 to week 8, I feel like I have learned a lot, and I can't imagine how much more I will learn in the next eight weeks. Not only material from the class, but from general technological skills as well. Nine weeks ago I didn't know how to use google blogger, google sites, or other basic online skills. That is pretty big progress. For the second half of the semester, I really want to try and finish up my assignments as soon as I can, rather than the due date itself. I am writing this specific post two days before it is due, so I would say I am off to a good start. Here's to progress!

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I feel like I have received really good feedback for my stories and it has helped me edit specific stories and learn what is best for stories that are up and coming. That part has been something I like going over because it has helped me learn my strong suits and my weaknesses when it comes to story writing. Throughout this class though, the part I have struggled most with is giving really good feedback and comments. I feel like I can't come up with really good feedback since I don't really have a lot of experience with writing. I might mention that I have not taken a single english class while at university. I just am not good at critiquing other's works and finding positive issues that I can help address. In the future, I hope to work on my feedback commentating and focus more on what I do know, and use that to my benefit.

Week 8 Reading and Writing

As I look back on my progress throughout this class, a few things stick out to me about everything I have accomplished. At first, it took a few trial and error processes to understand the layout of this course and how to work all of the new websites and platforms I was in the process of learning how to use. Overall, I feel like this course has gotten a better more easier over time. Not because of the material or anything, I just understand what is expected of me every week and it is easy to stick to the schedule when it is so consistent overall. My writing has also greatly improved as I have learn how to rewrite stories in a fashion I like and I can better comprehend the material and verbiage. I also have almost mastered reading notes over our weekly readings. The stories specifically surrounding Sita I really became attached to. 

In the next few weeks to come, I expect to finish up my storybook and write more stories regarding Indian Epics. I hope to do further research outside of our readings in order to gain the most out of the material being presented to me.
