There weren't really any topics that I felt needed any further clarification. I felt that the jost inforamtive activity for me was the teach the class activity. I enjoyed all of the discussion. Sometimes my classmates end up losing my attention a few times throughout their presentation. This is no fault of their own, it's just that in a classroom lecture the professor is trained and wants to be in front of the classroom, my peers however, really aren't rained in making me learn and holding my attention.
I though that the tipping point discussions really kept my attention and helped me learn alot more about the chapters than just reading the book. With presentations I may have a question but I tend to forget it by the end. I took alot more out of the tipping point than I think that I did from the other books.
I felt like I could have gotten alot more out of WebQuest if I had had more time to prepare and a longer time to speak. Instead of being concerned with the actualy content I was more concerned with how I was going to fit a good amount of information into about a three minute period. I haven't started the paper yet, but I do think that I will tak emuch more out of that assignment than the speech.
I think that the class was exactly what I thought that it would be and I took more out of it than I expected.
Posted by at December 13, 2005 8:39 PMHi Erica - Thanks for your final comments. I just read a final comment about the WebQuest presentations that was very similar to your comment. Maybe it would help if you were asking to write comments to them (then you'd have somewhere to jot down your questions, too? I'll have to think more about this assignment - thanks for your comments.
I agree the timeline for the WebQuests was incredibly short - I take full responsibility. My hope is that during the reflection (not due until 12/21 at noon), you'll have more time to reflect on the content, which is ultimately important in this class.
I liked how you got involved in this class and offered many comments and questions. Thank you for your participation and for stepping up - especially in the 2nd half of our class. And thanks again for your feedback. Take care. --Aimee
