Management Class 3-1-2-0

Management class 3-1-2-0
I just wanted to let you know,
We had a good time, you and me,
But we can be no more you see.
It was a one time thing, I'm sad to say.
It was just a fling, ending in the month of May.
One semester of passion is all I can take,
Don't make this hard and I'll buy you a cake.
Goodbye management class 3-1-2-0, section MW6A.
May we not meet again and avoid an awkward meeting is what I will pray.

Blog Communication

I thought that the blogging assignments were a very interesting way for students to work outside the classroom in a way that utilizes modern technology and also something that nearly all students do at some point in their lives.
For myself, I don't think it was a very good way to communicate with other students outside of class as most students, including myself, from what I could tell used the blog only for assignment purposes. Although it was a very good way to encourage students to think about class activities and topics learned while in lecture, something that is probably hard to do in other classes where you aren't required to go back and write about the experiences you shared with others.
Through the professor's blog, there were other things that we could also learn about, though I think it would've been more enjoyable to do so, had it not been one of the requirements for our blog assignments. The blog also allowed for good control of each individual's grade, although I must admit, I did not know that it was twenty percent. And so because of this, I did not spend as much time on the blog as I could have and lessened some of the burden from studying for the tests that we had.
Finally, there is some possibility that I will continue to do this blog even after the class, although the chance of it is pretty low, seeing as how responses aren't that frequent and most people don't really read it; it seems that it would be pretty pointless to continue on, but there is always that chance.
