Mid-term Learning Reflection

In advance I apologize for not posting this on time, I guess I am the only person in Richmond that lost power yesterday. Other than this assignment, I have been on time for every assignment this semester. Overall this has been a great first half of an English class. I have been reading and listening to more great writing works over the last seven weeks, than I have my whole life. Every Tuesday I visit the weebly.com website to carefully read about what is due for the upcoming week. For the most I try to do the committee discussion responses first, but it seems like the people in my group will wait until late Monday to post it, which makes it hard to write a response if they are posting to the board late Monday night. So I will generally respond to anyone who post to the committee board before 8 p.m. on Monday. For the second half of the semester I will be responding to people’s posts in greater detail and with comments on their experiences and thoughts. I incorporate my understanding of the class material into my weekly writing assignments, or at least try to. My favorite readings so far have been the latest one, involving Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. Both were so important for this country, and I love reading about our Independence from Great Britain. I loved being able to write about having an experience in Nature, for an assignment. It was a great change from reading and assignment and writing a detailed response.  One complaint I do have is that I have no idea how I am doing in this class, unless there is another place to view grades, blackboard doesn’t show any grade. Great reading so far, I hope we stay in the current time period for a little more than we have with other time periods, great readings. Overall great first half to English and I hope to earn an A by the end of it.
