Discussion 10: Final Thoughts on the Course

Contains unread posts

Starts Jul 29

As Discussion Boards are great for reflection, let’s do some reflecting. You’ve made it to the end of the course. Congratulations! What did you think of the course? Do you enjoy fully online courses? Do you think you will take more in the future? Was the course useful for developing your critical thinking and writing skills, or was it just another obstacle on the way to your ultimate goal. Is there any chance you will enroll for even more English classes?

(We have great electives ranging from Shakespeare to The Modern American Short Story, and everything in between. The electives I teach most often are ENG 135 Popular Culture & Literature, ENG 140 Folklore, and ENG 156 Children’s Literature. All of these courses count towards your Writing Intensive requirement, and many of them cover other requirements as well.)

So let’s kick back our boots and reflect. What did you like most? What did you like least? What will you carry with you into the future?
