Reflection

Sitting here right now writing up my final post is more difficult then I have imagined. As I sat in class the first day I was surprised during her explanations of the type of medium we will be using and the flexibility of the work. In a typical English class we would write essays, print them out and turn them in, and get a bunch of red marks and a grade. However, this class was different, the audience we wrote for was different, and her methods were different.
We turn in our work by posting ups blogs before a certain time every week. The readers is not limited to just our teacher, since it is on the World Wide Web everyone has the opportunity to read it and give their thoughts on the matter. We would post subjects of things that were discussed in class, but we never really had a certain topic we had to write able it varies between everyone in class. So when we post all the students have different topics that they feel the need to post . Over the years my writing has never improved much, I took writing courses , practice , but I never had much improvement, until I had enter this class. I had sent a link of my blog to friends and they gave me a lot of nice comments. The one that stood out the most was when I was ask if I really had wrote it, because she said it sounded so professional and unlike me.
Besides seeing improvement on my writing I had learn to read and watch things in a more detailed manner. For example, cell phone ads, I notice the little things that they try to get their audience to focus on, or how the color and lighting plays an important role in the ads. The people they use and the mood of the ads all have a certain significant, nothing that is shown is without reason.
In my personal opinion, this is by far; my most favorite’s class that I have taken in University of California, Davis. I had a very good experience with everyone in class, there were a lot of integrations and the discussions were amazing, hearing other people outlook and ideas help me see things in a new light. Also no matter how much different people views are it never lead to arguments, everyone just rationally explain their ideas and move on. In the future I hope to encounter another class similar to this one, because it has been an experience I will remember.
