Syd's Thoughts

 So far I am on track to earn an A for this course which is exactly where I want to be. I did miss a couple assignments (like readings) but I did take advantage of some of the extra credit this past weekend to help catch me back up to where I need to be. I definitely should make a better habit of actually doing the extra credit so that I can finish this class early, but I always end up putting this class after my other big science ones. Maybe investing more time on Monday's when I don't have work or school would be smart. I tend to try and do homework for my other classes on that day so I just need to include this one. Other than that I think I am making good progress on everything and look forward to the rest of this semester! Great quote to keep me moving the rest of this semester! 

 Part 1: I think that the other student in this class are leaving great comments and ideas on my work. They gave me some good ways to branch out my stories and a new perspective on some of my own stories simply because they read it in a different way. I think the comments that ask me thinking questions about my own work are the best for me. Part 2: I try to leave the same type of comments on other students' posts because I found them most helpful to me. I try to leave at least one question for them to think about on their projects. Part 3: I do think that I have a good sense of my classmates because they really took the time to introduce themselves and I feel like I know them through their writing styles! Part 4: I think that I need to give more style writing tips. I kind of forget to do that for my comments so I need to be better at that. I think more of the overview instead of going a little deeper into their writings.  Part 5: I chose this image because it took me a while t...

Part 1: I am happy with how my blog page and my project website pages look. I am very technologically challenged so honestly the fact that they are functioning properly and look decent is enough of an achievement for me! I did try to figure out the whole banner thing for my portfolio, but even with the directions I still cannot seem to get it to work.  Part 2: All of my labels for reading and stories are working properly and I think they all look nice. I have struggled with actually completing all of the readings because I get very overwhelmed and sometimes just skip them, but other than that I think they look good.  Part 3: I have really enjoyed doing the writings for this class and honestly I would much rather do those than do the readings. I think my portfolio is the biggest accomplishment for me this far. I really put a lot of time and effort into that story and my classmates seemed to like it too! I don't think the readings have a great impact on my writing. I mean, I tak...
