BLOGGING...

I believe the blogging did help extend the class outside the class. It provided us with a way to interact which each other outside of class. Furthermore it allowed us to get to know one each other better and develop a better class atmosphere. It also allowed people who dont have the chance to letter their opinons known in class to let their opinions be heard even if its via the internet. The blogging made the activities more useful for lack of better words. It lets us reflect on the activity and furthermore understand the topic it applied to.
Now even though, I thought it was a good idea to gives us blog assignments and have it be worth twenty percent of our grades, it kind of annoyed me at times. I didn't not like the deadlines. But I guess that has to do with management as well. Me, personally I'm always on the run and dont usually have access to a computer unless I'm home or school. I'm barely home and if I'm in school I'm in class. But, that all goes under time management so I understand that. I think what would have been a good idea, would have been having no deadlines and just have everything due at the ende of the semester.
Will i continuing blogging? Honestly, probably not, my grade doesn't depend on it anymore. Not that it would be a waste of time, but theres just so little time.

THE ABCs of DISC

The test gauged my management orientation as Conscientiousness. I believe it got it right on point. I'm very conscientious about how things are done. I pay a lot of attention to detail and everything has to be done a certain way when I'm in charge. One place I'm conscientious is at work, I tend to be more picky about how I want certain things to be. I don't wish i could be another type but i do believe a person can change to another type. An individual can become more dominant or influence can increase as times goes by. A test like this would help in other personal interactions because it could reveal some aspects about ones interactions one doesn't realize.
