Blog 8: Final Reflection

When I first came into this WRD-110 class, I seen it as a waste of my time, but I have actually learned quite a bit of useful information that I intend to carry on with me throughout my college career. Some things I found challenging was the whole community project because I never made a connection between it and the class. I was really disturbed by the documentary project because of having to make a documentary video. I think the video is what really scared me in this class because I spent the first two weeks focused on other classes and never had a chance to get a head start on the project like I would of liked to. Besides the documentary video and documentary over a community, I loved the class. I have made a couple good friends in that class that I know I can rely upon in the end of this semester and still talk to in the future. This class taught me how to do finer research and how to go about when writing other new subjects. I learned some new writing and citing material that I didn't know beforehand and thiswill greatly be beneficial to my future classes here at the University of Kentucky. I found myself to be very successful in everything related to the my community and documentary process becauseI found a subject that I loved, but that's the only reason I think I have succeeded in these graded assignments. I think instead of doing a final documentary video with a final documentary reflection, I would do something more related to writing and communications. Some things that surprised me about the class was how helpful and open the teacher is with us. She puts herself out there in order to help us succeed. I was also surprised by the fact that the class was as small as it was, which i loved because I got a little more peer-peerreview and help while also having time to ask the teacher questions in class which also benefitted me. Overall, the class was very well taught and informative, but I just didn't agree or see the point behind a documentary video.
