Week may 8-14 question 3

Pick a favorite concept that we have covered through this course and post about it.  Explain the concept to refresh our memories.  Tell the class why you have chosen this concept, and what it is you like about it. Competition is one of the concepts that I like the most competition basically means either a person wins or loses. Competition is something that we will all be doing in life and throughout our lives. when people think about competition they automatically think about sports but there are other ways to compete other than by playing sports. People compete everyday for jobs, grades, parking, arguing, and other things. The one thing to remember is that we should also have a mutual respect with those people that we are competing with. Non the less we should always be driven to win and do our best. Everyone in life wants to be the best and be a winner its with hard work and respect that this can be achieved. I basically like this concept because it relates to everyday life and it is something that everyone does everyday whether they think about it or not.

week may 8-14 question 2

What have you learned throughout this class?  What was your favorite thing about the class?  What was your least favorite thing about the class?  How can this class be improved?  Throughout this class I have learned different communication terms like CMC communications and Face-to-Face communications and other terms. Recently I was writing a paper for another communication class that I am taking and I was able to use some of the terms that I learn in this class for the paper I'm writing for my other class. I like being able to use the different terms that I have learn in order to convey points that I' m trying to make.My favorite thing about this class is that it is online and I don't have to wake up early in the morning or anything like that. I also like the fact that when I ask the teacher a question via email she responds very quickly and the teacher has a positive attitude. My least favorite thing is the quiz part because I don't think 25 minutes is enough time to answer 15 questions that's only a minute and a few second per question. The class can be improve by making the quiz time at least 10-15 minutes longer and the teacher should offer extra credit.

Discuss your Group Observation Project.  Was it a useful exercise?  What did you learn?  What was good about the project?  What can be improved? The group observation project was useful because it allowed me to learn more about alcoholics and how people become alcoholics. The good thing about the project is the fact that I was able to observe the group I was interested in observing.I like the fact that we did not have to pick groups to observe based on a list of groups that was recommend by the teacher which is something that often happens with projects of this nature. The thing that could be improved is the instructions can be a little more clear I was a little confused on how to write the paper. Also the part were we have to compare our research to scholar journals based on the 4 topics the teacher provided. I think we should be able to compare our research to anything we feel applicable to our research paper. Other then that I did not have any other things that I thought needed to be improved on the observation research paper
