Good Morning Ma'am, Good Morning Sir, Thank you Ma'am, Thank you Sir. Good Morning Guys... Thank You Guys

During the Blog Writing course,  there have been many things that are new to me. Whether it was online or offline meetings, I have been learning things that I have never thought I would learn before. Starting from the basics of blogs, kinds of blog, also the first few tips to do as a blog writer if somehow I am willing to be committed to write blog permanently in the future. Some of the things I learned including what a good blog is, terms that has a relation with blogging, how to attract readers to read your blog, and how to maintain your blog successful.

If I were to reflect on how I have been doing so far in this blog Writing Course, I would say that I have done quite good when it comes to active participation of the class, I try to answer when there are  questions and I always have my questions regarding the course material answered everytime, I also responds quite well in the class blog. Unfortunately, for assignment submission especially the one when we had to make a post about what things that we have realized during this pandemic, I kind of missed the assignment submission time badly because of my full unawareness of the notification. The good thing is it was a trigger for me to bounce back and try to organize all of my assignments and thoughts in hard times during this pandemic.

As for my own personal growth as a student and/or as an amateur writer, the material in this course has been helping me a lot. I am a person who likes to write down my thoughts but usually I would just write in a blank pages of Microsoft Word and I have really vague idea on how to write for people (writings that are shared towards an audience), with Bu Anik’s class, I have been getting some useful informations about blogging and also get to try to write my own blog, it has been a wonderful experience.

If I were to grade myself, I would have given myself a B+ or A- , I am always content with the writings that I have posted during our blog writing class. It is not that I am being over confident or that I am trying to brag, it’s just that as someone who never really writes to express his feelings towards anything in general, the experience itself was super fun, added with amazing classmates who are willing to share their knowledge in writing and a helpful lecturer to guide us throughout the course, I think I am satisfied.

In conclusion, I get useful knowledge while having fun and that is in my opinion, what a great class is. If there is anything that will get in my way from getting good grades is that I am completely aware that regardless of my own experience in doing this class, the course has its own course profile with all of the criterias needed to be considered as a good student of a blog writing class. I admit it myself that I am not able to have good writings, layout, and designs of my own blog yet, I only use simple or default designs provided by the blogger website. Most of the time I spent in this class is focusing how to get  a good, fun and engaging writings. With all good intention and sincerity I do look forward to the final grade, and I hope that it will conclude my time in this course amazingly.
