Writing journals
in this Key Questions in Humanities class has been a good experience so far as they
have given me a sense of reflection building and have served as a guide for
collecting my thoughts. Writing my journals in a blogging style is something
completely new for me, as I have never had a blog before and I'm not the most
tech-savvy individual. Each lecture topic was assigned different journal
assignments that involved various write-ups such paragraph and sentence
building exercises, discussion question
responses and reviews. I would have never though I would be writing journals in
university as I have done in elementary school, but this was on another level
of journal-writing. In my high school and in my earlier academic life, I wasn't
adequately taught sentence structure and essay writing so my writing itself
isn't at that university-level yet. I am someone who loves the arts has been
exposed to a lot of art forms throughout my life, and so it is easy for me to express
creative ideas. The real challenge for me was taking these creative ideas and
specifically and critically placing them into written form. The journal-writing
aspect of the course has given me a newfound motivation in creating my own blog
for writing whatever I please. I am also now willing to approach the resources
available in the university to help me with my writing. The fact that the
course is "writing-intensive" has allowed me to approach writing
papers and improving my writing skills overall. The topics in HUMA01 have been
quite interesting and have inspired many though-provoking ideas and concepts
that I would never have looked at.
