I've taken a couple of classes similar to this one, but the one thing that I learned, like, really, learned that I've never even heard of before was the models: social constructionist, pragmatic and a little bit more of the psychologist model. I knew that the concepts within them, and communications modes had to be apart of a bigger group, and I was right. It further opened my eyes to the ways we communicate and how communication shapes or is either shaped by our words.
My favorite thing about the class was learning, and the blogging. I know I missed quite a few comments, and a blog or two, but blogging was easy for me to do (pending work). The least favorite thing... was the blogging and quizzes. I'm so used to logging on to D2L and going to the discussion in order to post my questions. My other online class does it, so I kept forgetting to do it on here (hence the missed blogs). The quizzes also made me a little angry. I didn't like how I couldn't review which answers I got wrong. As I was taking the quizzes, I would have the book with me since the questions were so specific. And I would get a couple wrong every now and again. It wasn't that I got it wrong, but I would have liked to have seen why I messed up (either reading comprehension or accidentally marking something wrong) that way I could learn from my mistakes and fix it in the future.
That is the only think I would improve about the class: being able to see which question I got wrong so I can learn from my mistakes or question the coding of the answer and possible have it fixed if it wasn't wrong and I could back it up with what the book said. Maybe the option is there and I'm just stupid, but with all the other classes, it would automatically pop up and show me which ones I got wrong and show me the score at the bottom.
