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.

hi, first of all, I'd like to thank you for your comment on my blog.
As you said, the blog activity was a really good method to share our opinions outside of class. It was mostly reflection on what we did in class. This means we can have a better understand by reading other's blog. We can see that from many points of view. That was the biggest advantage.
And regarding to your idea on improvement of blog, I like your idea that there should be no deadline for comments. We can feel much comfortable when we read other people's blogs because there's no pressure to leave comment. I know this will be very difficult for professor to control our blog assignments without any deadline. haha.I think he handled this problem very well by putting a line. I really enjoyed the blog activity. Also, I am glad to share my opinion with you. Good luck on your final~
I agree with you. I don't like deadlines, and as far as for myself I can't work unless I'm underpressure, so i basically do all my asignemtns the last day, I study for tests the day before and so on.. I agree that the assignemtn was fun and new at the begining, but as the semester went one, I also started to get annoyed with the fact that i have to run home, to get my assignment done on time or I would compeltely forget about it untill someone from the class would remind me.
yeah i agree.. one thing i liked about the blog was it allowed me to share my input because i'm one of the people who wasn't able to say it in class. and yeah, the deadlines were a little annoying. once he gave us the assignment, i would read it and forget about it til someone reminded me or until i remembered, which was either the day before or same day it was due lol.
