Blogging

I find that the blogging helps me understand better what i have read for the class. Usually I do not know what I am about to write I just do it. i find myself thinking and writing all at the same time. I find that as I write I sort through Ideas and possibilities that could obtain to what i have read about, So in a way I am blabbing on to myself more so than my readers. This type of thinking it through really helps me obtain though provoking sayings which add quite a bit of class to my paper if I may say so myself.
I whole concept of blogging is great because in a normal class most people only think about the work at hand in the class, no where else. This allows us to learn to think out of the class, and i find it quite stimulating. I have also noticed that I have retained more from the class by blogging. This form and method of teaching and learning is quite effective in our circle of students. At first it was a little confusing but once we caught on it was one of the best experiences I have had so far from the university. I can't wait to go the Prof Corrigans class to see what he has for us today.
I must be quite frank with you, at first I thought that the class was just part of some social experiment but this form of teaching and learning is in fact Genius. I say Genius because it involves us reading, discussing, listening, thinking, blogging and the occasional mini field trip, by the time that we have finished all of these steps the material and lesson is so far deep into our skulls I am sure that we will never forget it. I never thought that I would say this but the skills that I learn in my Intro to Lit class are skills that are to be carried throughout our entire life. he teaches us to think out side the box and to think deep, deeper than deep so far deep that deep looks like the surface of something much grander. Peace out hommies.

  1. I like the idea of these blogs being Genius, whether it is or isnt, I like to think of myself taking part in something Genius. I agree it engages me into the class completely.

  2. Great thoughts Bobby! I definitely agree with you, it does help us in learning to think outside of class. I think if we keep applying ourselves in thinking on our own, then we all can learn to become excellent thinkers.
