Yes, I am happy with my progress so far. There have been a few weeks where I have been so overwhelmed with my 18 hours of schools, and full time job that I have missed some assignments. However, as a whole I feel like I have kept up decently. For the second half, I would like to be better about getting assignments done early and not waiting until the last minute to complete my work.

Feedback Overall, the quality of feedback I have received throughout this semester has been helpful. People are kind, but still provide helpful tips that will make me a better writer. I appreciate the comments people have shared so far.  I base my reading notes on some of the strategies of others, and some of the strategies I have learned from other classes. My strategies work well for me. Yes I like the system of blog commenting. I like that we are assigned a project to read, and we also get freedom to choose which one we would like to read. This gives us an opportunity to meet new people and read new stories, while still getting to keep up with the ones we like. For the future, I can continue to be supportive of other people's work while still respectfully leaving input. Opinions are subjective, and just because I didn't like a story doesn't mean it was bad, so I won't be critical of their content. I will always be sure to encourage creativity among my peers and...

Overall, this class has been great so far. I have enjoyed learning about the different varieties of stories seen throughout the different cultures. Although my project is about greek mythology, I found the weekly stories to be a little bit more fun. I think the idea of creating some new and different each week is exciting, and it helps my writing skills little by little. My favorite week of stories has been the African section. I loved reading about the culture that is represented in these tales. Looking back on my own writings, I see a few things that I might have done differently, but as a whole I still enjoy reading them. Over time I forget some of the details I mention and it makes me proud to see all the work I have accomplished so far. I look forward to continuing my writing and learning even more about stories from the past!
