Final Farewell to MIDS 301
It's been a long road this semester. I have learned a great deal of things and have been exposed to a new perspective on ideas that I would have never given a second thought about before. The class had an interestig way to put a spin on just about everything we covered.
One of my favorite segments of the class came from the discussion on Net Neutrality. Before the class, I did not even know this was an issue. It is hard to believe that something as vital as this flys under the radar the way it does.
The class was very enjoyable. It promoted discussion based learning. I have always been a fan of this style of learning, simply because it does a good job of keeping my attention longer than a lecture based course. The class topics were well picked for discussions. I thought it was neat to be able to see different people's perspectives on controversial issues.
The projects were another interesting twist. They gave great freedom to the students to express themselves how they saw fit. They all got to pick from blogging, web design, and video editing. Within each project catagory, they were also allowed freddom of thought. I appreciated being able to take this blog in whatever direction I was thinking that particular week. It made the overall experience better.
I have learned many skills to improve my bloggins (such as writing mini paragraphs instead of long ones and inserting pictures to draw attention). I will be able to use these skills in the future not only for personal gains but to better understand the world around me. I believe I have gained a grasp of what IT is all about from this course.
The end has come. It is bittersweet. I have always been pleased to have classes end. This is primarily because I am looking forward to vacation after four stressful months. This class was very enjoyable, and I hope my future classes are able to capitivate and motivate me in the same ways.
