Journal

In this class, I have experienced a different way of learning.

The grading rubric is based on the discovery and development of ideas, as opposed to memorization. Different mediums are used to express this. Multimedia projects and technology are used often. The option of having a blog lets you post things online easily, and not have to deal with bulky papers or "losing" things. When physical assignments are needed, they are used in different ways, as in creating a model, like we did for the "Uglies" sci-fi invention project. Finally, I didn't have the reading time we had before class. I find it useful and fun, since not only can we read anything we want, but we can also work on the reading projects we have, reading the book we have assigned or we're using for the assignment.
