As the semester comes to a close, it's time that I reflect on this class and how it's treated me these past few months.
I've had a lot of eye opening experiences- whether they were long talks about political conspiracies (I learned some pretty crazy stuff about how corrupt America is from those) in ALP or Professor Mangini ranting about how we didn't learn a single useful thing about attention grabbing, personal writing in high school, all were overall helpful for me and progressing myself as a student and writer. Even though I still struggled to get out of the manipulative hold of procrastination down to even my last post on this blog, what I liked most about this class is that that never stopped me from receiving honest, most of the time positive, feedback regardless. I knew that if I was facing personal issues, was working so much I couldn't even THINK about school work, or was just down right lazy- if I tried hard enough and put the time in when that creative spark WAS there, my efforts would pay off and it wouldn't effect my overall progress in the class. I think to a lot of college students, we feel it's important that our effort and creativity should be acknowledged (as well as acknowledge when the effort isn't there) or else we feel a sense of hopelessness or constantly questioning if what we're doing is enough. In this class, our professor never failed to do so. As well as teaching us and using our assignments on a new form of media for us to delve into, such as this website portfolio, to expand our knowledge and techniques preparing us steadily for what's ahead of us in the rest of our college careers. I admired this class and enjoyed having it to remember as my first experience at Delaware County Community College.
