Blog #15

After having completed the blog assignments for this semester, I can firmly say that these were helpful in keeping my writing and analysis skills refined for the entire semester. It was also a good experience to have my fellow classmates feedback, as well as being able to provide comments or critique to others. I think the blogs were a great way to make sure I kept up on my reading, and also to make sure I was actually understanding/ retaining the readings. The topics were sometimes difficult to write about, so it was a good challenge for me, and not just something I could write without actually thinking. The blogs were also useful down the road when it came time to work on our projects, as I had insightful analysis and reflection in my blogs that were relevant to the projects. Being able to read my classmates blogs were helpful and eye opening. Being expose to an array of opinions gave me different perspectives on the topics covered this semester. I really think the blogs made me more productive and helped me retain the information covered in Oluo’s book, and were also useful as reference points for the three projects.
