It's been a pleasure to share my thoughts and opinions with you as we journeyed through Management 3120. This was the first class that I’ve ever had to work on Blog assignments, and I've got to say it was fun, interesting, and a great way to manage my grade (which is always a plus in my book)! As a person who doesn’t say what’s on their mind in class, the Blog was a great way for me to let it all out. And not only to say my mind, but to hear if other people had similar opinions as mine and to see what other people in the class, like me, have to say. I enjoyed reading all of your blogs, reading and learning about different experiences and views. We all are unique with our own voice, and I felt the blog helped all our voices to be heard. Also, the blog was very helpful, for me, in reflecting back on our group activities and linking them to what we learned from class. I, still, remember the different types of ways people deal with decision-making conflicts (take a look back at "Decisions, Decisions...") and the steps of the planning process (take a look back at "An Eggs-cellent Way to Plan: The Untold Story of the Egg in the Basket"). Formal HW assignments are good at helping to teach for exams, but the Blog helped me to remember my class experiences without fear of not getting the right answer. I never thought that I'll be blogging, being the private person that I am, but I enjoyed it. I am not sure what the future holds about my Blog, just yet, but for future Students of Management, I think the blog should remain a part of this course and a part of their adventure into Management!
I agree with the fact that the blog helped to remember class experiences without fear of not getting the right answer. What makes the blog awesome is that it is opinion-based. This means that you get credit for simply sharing what you think about a particular activity or topic. It also facilitates debate as students are free to agree or disagree with each other.
ReplyDeleteIt seems as during the semester many people discovered something new about themselves. Moreover, our blogs helped us to repeat and remember all the material we learned in class. However, I do not see many people keeping up on using their blogs. It really is a good experience and it should stay a part of this management class.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, i liked reading other people's blogs more than writing them. I found them interesting and it was nice to find people that i can relate to. Overall, i enjoyed this class blogging assignment!
ReplyDeleteHaving the blog definitely helped to remember the experiences and lessons that we were learning in the class and the class activities. Regular HW is okay for a class where repetition of something is how you learn it like math but in a class like this I agree with you in that the blog was a much more effective way of learning the material without having to worry if you got it right or wrong.
ReplyDeleteHey Alexandra!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that Blogging should remain a part of Management class (and should transcend into other classes if possible). Blogging is relaxing to do and like you mentioned, it turns moments into everlasting memories. Also unlike the classroom setting, we have as much time to think about what we want to say and can express ourselves any way we want. Blogging is awesome.
I believe that a lot of people will like the blog because there are many quiet people in our class, but their thoughts don’t always stay quiet. The blog real helps people who don’t like say what is in their mind. It is like a decode machine, decrypting their thought. I’m not good at expressing myself, so I need to find the other way out, using blog.
