My thoughts about the class

When I signed up for this class I needed upper level elective credits. I am glad I chose this course because I have learned a lot and I have really enjoyed it, despite it not being anything like I thought it would be. I looked you up on ratemyprofessors.com and saw that the class had a few papers and blogs, for a heavy credit load it didn’t sound so bad. Like I said though the class was not what I thought it would be. I thought there would be a lot more talk about facebook. In that I think the study of facebook culture part should be changed. I wish we had talked more about facebook. Maybe we could have had to write a two page paper about facebook and how it impacts our life. Another assignment for this course I might choose is to find an issue related to you major and write about it. I did this in my blog post. I realize this may be hard to do though if you are a MCS major since the whole course is geared towards you but I still think it is possible. Overall though I feel like the class has a good balance, the blogs keep us working and thinking about the class. I liked the self designed experiment mid-semester. I wish I could have made a video but that week was just too crazy for me, but that is one idea that should stay. I think maybe in the future you could have one less book and in its place have those 2-3 weeks be just about facebook, myspace, blogs, online media, and where people think it is going. It also may be good in that week to have online articles that you find for them to read. It would also be a nice change to just reading a book.
