Final post

This is really (shamefully) short - because I can't think of anything more to add. If I do, I will, but haven't I yapped enough in this blog already? :)

• Readings
• readings ok - some were pretty heavy, but i like that. some students may have issues - for something like the literacy thing (which i recall we had some trouble with) maybe a short presentation of the ideas first, then have the students read the selection. especially if you have a good mix of majors, or at least a lack of theory nerds like myself.
  
• Assignments
• the blogs are fine - I like them a lot! no problems there. the rest I was also fine with, except the wikipedia assignment, since this got very busy this semester and i just didn't feel like ego-stroking the wiki powers-that-be, so this is more of a personal gripe. I got the practical reasons for participating, and I like the idea but...ehhh....
• Activities
• I think the mix of activities that we had functioned really well to make the monitor disappear...instead of just sitting there scrolling thru pdf's or observing, we did have to get involved.
  
• Best/Least
• I liked the hypertext essay - even though it was a lot of work.
  
• What would I have done more of/less of
• start website project earlier in the semester - maybe make it a term-long assignment
  

• anything left out?
• I really don't think so! :)
  

• do I feel prepared to continue in this area?
• Actually, I think I'll be continuing with most of the material for a long time, career-wise. It's a really new field in comp/rhetoric studies, and a pretty exciting one since it's so far-reaching.
