Jessica's Blog reflecting

Before we started the blog assignments, I always thought that blogging about opinions was annoying and that arguments had no intellectual information to back them up. However, after participating in our classrooms blog assignments, I have learned to really enjoy reading what other people think about situations. I especially have enjoyed when we all wrote about readings from the globalization book because those opinions stemmed from research and opinion. I liked hearing the similar and different opinions people had about the same problems. My least favorite blog post was probably when we were posting our papers, and we were only reading people that we were assigned because there was too much information to read what everyone thought, as oppose to article responses, where you can read what everyone has to say. I feel like I have gotten to know my peers quite well and that we have participated in true discourse. The fact that my peers are going to read what I have written no longer bothers me, but instead I’m actually excited to see what people have to say.
