Assignments
Initially, I was very caught off guard with the approach. However, I am now beginning to enjoy the unorthodox style of interface. I am most intrigued by writing stories, since I enjoy being creative. Moreover, I am excited to get a chance to earn extra credit by being social, I find myself interacting with my peers regularly anyway. All and all, I feel that this course offers special learning opportunities, with respect to the interface, that aren't feasible in many others.

Ha ha, that is a great meme, Ruben! And I am glad you are liking the way the assignments will work. The commenting will start on Tuesday next week, and it is a lot of fun. Don't forget to go to Canvas after each blog post so you can declare your points; the Declaration you will see in Canvas is a kind of "checklist" that will help you see if the assignment is done, and then you can take your points. Let me know if you have any questions about that; you will be doing that for every assignment, and that means you can use the Canvas Gradebook as a kind of "to-do" list also. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Ruben,
ReplyDeleteI sympathize fully with you on how this course caught me off guard! It was definitely weird having a class that solely interacted online, but I am really enjoying it! Like you said its very easy to talk to peers since its all online and we work on our own time. I also enjoy all the extra credit opportunities as well!
