UNIT 3 REFLECTION BLOG


Well well well, this course has been a really interesting and a fun course, yet hard in a way. When I first started it was easy and it got harder to the end. I honestly thought I was going to drop out in the middle of the semester but I said to myself I can do this: D
Starting out with the first project, picking out a topic was easy, but sticking with the same topic for the rest of the semester got a little bit tricky and hard. But I handled it like a big girl lol. Learning to use Dreamweaver was the best part, and designing everything. I liked that so much, and learned a lot. This course has taught me a lot in life honestly, and into being a better writer, and most important by revising are projects. We got to learn from our mistakes and making our projects better. I struggled a little bit at the end of the course, because of my own reasons, but hopefully my revision would bump me up to at least a B or low A hopefully. I got to meet the coolest people in the class, Marc, Marcos, Tabatha and Megan.
My teacher Crystal is a very cool person, really enjoyed her class. The class helper Rachel helped me out a lot, thank you. She a very good aid and she knows everything about Dreamweaver. I’m not sure what else I could talk about, this class has been fun overall, and I don’t think I have to take another English course, because of my major, and thank god for that. Moreover, the three units were very fascinating. Oh I forgot to talk about the podcast, I loved it, I think it was so cool to record are voices and actually talk about something, and I felt so professional. Thank u again Crystal for teaching our class, it was fun having you around. I would have probably struggled if I had an older teacher, you are really understanding.

MM Webtext Reflection Blog

This project has been a fun project. I really enjoyed working on it, and putting things together. It has taught me to be into a much better writer and putting my thoughts and ideas together. Picking out my topic was a little bit hard, after changing it 3 times, but I finally came to the decision on doing the life of Coco Chanel. A lot of people do not know much about her, and only know her by name. My audiences are everyone who is interested on knowing more about Coco Chanel, and the time line of her life. My purpose of my MM web text is to inform everyone who is Chanel and the life after Chanel. My organization was set as a time frame, from the time she was born, until she died. I believe that my assignment is well suited to web-reader, because a lot of people I’m sure would want to know more about Chanel and all of her accomplishments and what she has done in her life. A lot of people take Chanel as a Role Model to them. I am so proud of my layout, I really enjoyed working on it, putting pictures together, and making everything look so perfect. Honestly if I had more time, I would have made the layout more different and played around with Dreamweaver, I know there is so much stuff that I do not know how to do on the program, but couple of my classmates helped me. (Tabatha, Marcos, Marc, Rachel-thank you). I have done a lot of research for this project; I would have probably interviewed someone that knew so much about Chanel, and I would have added another section talking about it. Moreover, I really enjoyed working on this project, and putting everything together. It really did teach me so many things. I learned a lot from this class. :D
