Final Reflection

This class was very well designed.  The readings from this class were very good and helped with the start of my research project.  When completing the assigned readings I had a better understanding about what the assignment was asking me to do.  All of the readings were very informative and helpful.  Completing the assignment about creating a blog and following other’s blogs was very informative and useful.  I could see what others were doing and be more actively involved in my action research and give feedback.   Blogging is a great way for me to communicate with Lamar advisors as well as my site supervisor and classmates for comments to help better my research.  Since this class has required me to visit my blog weekly it will encourage me to continue using the blog on a regular basis.  I hope to use the blog throughout the whole program and research.  The assignments that I completed in the class along with the discussion board questions helped to further understand the readings.  All the assignments really helped me to get started with my research and helped me to determine what I wanted to research.  When utilizing the discussion board I learned how my peers interpreted the readings and how their research was progressing.  It also allowed a time for me to reflect on my own understandings and how my research was progressing.  I also enjoyed reading the posts that my classmates would post.  Overall, this class has been a big help in getting myself organized to begin my research.  It has also allowed me to see what topics others have decided to research and learn more about.
