This blog
drew my interest because of the colorful background, and the quality of the
blogs that were on it. Brittany seemed to show a lot of interest in her blog,
and I can tell because they were very well put together and she must have spent
a lot of time on them. I would rate this blog as an overall 5 for both the
information and the readability. Compared to my blog, I would say that this one
is slightly better!
This
blog drew my interest because I have never worked with James and I wanted to
see what his blog had to offer. James did not seem to show very much interest in
his blog, and this is evident because he only completed two posts. I would have
to rate this blog as an overall 2 for information and readability because it
did not offer much. Compared to my blog, I think this one is worse.
This
blog drew my attention because of the detail that was incorporated into it. Calvin
seemed to show interest in his blog because he completed all of the posts, and
they were done very well. I would rate this blog as an overall 5 for
information and readability. Compared to my blog, I would say they are about
the same!
I
learned so many new things throughout the semester in this class. I enjoyed
that it covered so much German history. As a person with German descent I was
very excited and willing to learn about these things. We studied the different
states in Germany and what they are known for and how they contribute to
society. Also, we learned about the different aspects of the economy. It was
interesting to learn so much about the lifestyle and customs of a place other
than the United States.
On the side of critiquing, I would not do some
many group projects. They tend to become a hassle especially when certain group
members do not live on campus, and cannot always attend every day. I do however
think that the blog posts are appropriate and a solid way to learn new
material. Also, I would rather post about something
after we talked about it, instead of researching it beforehand. These were the
only downfalls that I came across. Overall, I took this class to fulfill a
credit, but I did come to enjoy it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone
who enjoys history and other cultural backgrounds. I would rate this class 8/10.
