Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Overall, I am finding the comments on my blog from other students extremely beneficial. I have been surprised by how in depth they are and how so many people took time to give me genuine feedback. I appreciate everyone taking the time and energy to read my posts and give some amazing (nice) criticism and praise. I think the most useful comments from people are the ones that give me constructive criticism because I take what they say and try to apply it in the future. I feel as though some people might not think that their advice means a lot to me, but it really does!

I have been truly impressed by so many students' blog posts, so writing comments on them has been rather simple. I have found it hard to give advice on a lot of posts, just because they are very well written. However, I have found that when I do find something that I can give advice on, I am very light-hearted and thorough. It has been so fun reading their posts because it has sparked creativity in me!

I think that one of the most amazing aspects of this course is that although it is online, I feel connected with many of the other students. Being an online course, it can be hard to make connections with other students, but how this class is so uniquely set up, it makes it way easier. I loved the Introduction post because everyone had to opportunity to get a sense of what others were like and where they came from, etc.

Looking forward, I know that I can improve on certain aspects of my feedback. In the future, I will be more in depth and more honest, because I have experienced what it is like to receive amazing feedback. Although I enjoy a lot of their posts, I need to be better about being specific; stating EXACTLY what I loved about their story, writing, theme, etc.

I chose this image for a couple reasons. To start, I love the cat memes and related to so many of them. They are all so funny and cute, yet accurate. Secondly, this image really speaks to me. I feel as though I tend to get down on myself and become upset about the smallest things and strive for perfection. Looking back at this semester, I have allowed myself to not be perfect, and with that, I have learned so much more than when I try too hard to be perfect.
