In this course I learned a lot of new things, and got refreshers on things I had learned in the past. It was designed to introduce us to Blackboard, and understand online learning.

This class encouraged me to think differently and critically through the discussion boards. I was able to read differing thoughts on the subject matter, and that really was beneficial for my learning. Not only did my instructor and the assigned readings help me to personally think beyond and to dig deeper into the materials, but learning what others thought opened up a new world to me. The discussions in AMS 332 are what were so helpful and positive about this class to me.

Overall, this class has taught me a lot. It has pushed and stretched my writing abilities to the limit, and has helped me grow as a writer. I was able to learn how to construct a strong, valid thesis, do extensive research on a topic, and do a deep analysis on different material.

The greatest experience I received in this class was in Module 3: Asking a Question and Module 7: Classical Argument Position paper. I got a chance to see how different opinions could be formed about the same topic. Everyone you will meet in life not matter where they are from or their background, all will have a very different opinion or view about a subject no matter what it may be. I felt module 3 and 7 was the most challenging and rewarding at the same time

I took this course this semester because I needed a Mixed course and the previous course I was taking was a college course. Throughout this semester I had how to be more efficient in InDesign and Photoshop as my ability to use the programs were not that good; I had basic knowledge of the programs.

1. What was your biggest takeaway from this course? My biggest takeaway from this course was the projects. I really enjoyed creating the prezi, infographic, and the technology integration project. I learned more from actually presenting the material than I would have otherwise. I have a new respect for technology that supports student centered learning, mainly because I was able to experience it firsthand this semester.

I was nervous and did not know what to expect before this course started.

This class has taught me to not only think differently but also to listen to the thoughts of others and how they feel about certain topics and to not judge them but to take their thought into consideration when I think about the same thing. Overall I feel that this class has enhanced my critical thinking skills and made me more prepared for the adult world and all of the decisions that come with it. The critical thinking skills that I have gained this semester would have to be not just going along with what someone believes but challenging it to see why they believe that and why one should have the same beliefs that they do. This semester has taught me that

This course has affected my development as a student in many ways. It has taught me the importance of being stress free. I have learned that using the time and stress management tools and strategies has helped me get closer to my goals. Achieving my goals depends mainly on me and being less stressful.

This has allowed me to get more important task done and put off the not so important ones. This course has prepared me very well for my academic success. It has taught me about my learning styles and what works best for me. Although I’m a visual/ auditory learner, I sometimes find myself wanting to take things hands on.
