Last thlog ever! Our Monday class was pretty interesting and
helpful. I really found it helpful to read everyone’s comments for my question,
and I liked the anonymity of the entire assignment. I also found that in helping
others with their questions and skimming through some other people’s responses,
it taught me how to approach certain questions in different ways. For instance,
a few people asked about how to improve upon their hooks, and one memorable
comment from another student was that hooks don’t always have to be academic.
This class and DePiero are definitely going to be missed. I
have such a strong appreciation for DePiero and his passion for teaching and
helping about students. Taking a class photo was a cool way of showing he cares
about us J
From this class I have learned much more than I had anticipated I would learn.
Writing the portfolio, although a significant amount of work, forced me to
reflect on specific details from week one all the way to week ten. It reminded
me of everything I learned—and more importantly, how much I learned. The survey
was something else that made me reflect on the class. From the surveys, it’s
amazing to see how much DePiero wants to improve his class and how motivated he
is to do so. I really liked the survey not only because we could convey what we
liked and disliked about the class, but being forced to reflect on the class
reminds me of certain details that I may have forgotten about. It brings that
much more significance to my takeaway of the class. Overall, thanks for the
best first quarter I could have, Z.
