FINAL THOUGHTS


As the year is coming to an end I am obviously starting to panic a little. I realized I set my standards way to high for this course and was hoping for at least eighty percent and need higher than seventy for university, however I loved the class overall.

My favourite assignment was by far the buried life project. I loved it because we really couldn’t go wrong with our answers and opinions so it allowed us to be as creative and out there as we wanted to be. My least favourite assignment was definitely the blackout poetry. I found that without having a specific topic or boundaries it was hard for me to make something up that made sense. Too creative for me!

I wasn’t much of a fan of the Friday reading classes truthfully because I always would be working on other homework and knew that was more important than reading therefore causing me to lose my concentration towards the book.

Monday’s reading reflections were always a struggle for me because of my inability to read during the Friday classes. Which consequently only allowed me to write the maybe, three pages I had read? The writing reflections I liked though because it made me think about what I had learned within the past week.

The WRN I feel went to waste after we started blogging, however I did like the blogging a lot better. It was easier to keep up with and less paper was wasted! Also I loved that we could go on your blog and see exactly what our schedule was for the class and the week even if we weren’t there.

I liked the idea of putting twitter to good use but I regret not making a new account specifically for this class. I think my followers probably got annoyed, or confused.

The integration of technology into the course definitely made it a lot easier to do our assignments and know exactly what was going on even when we’re absent.

I learnt overall that I’m very close-minded when it comes to writing. My goal was to become a better writer and that came well with liking all the assignments.

My advice for future Creative Writing students is; don’t forget about personal additions! You’ll end up like me having to add 20 in one week.
