Extra Credit: Questions About The Course

COURSE CONTENT
1. Which assignment did you ENJOY working on the best? Why?

My favorite assignments were visiting the art galleries because I would have never taken the time to do that on my own. After learning about some history of art, concepts, and certain artists, it definitely made the art galleries more interesting. I really appreciated taking the time to study the art but also the architecture and organization of the gallery itself.

2. Which assignment did you ENJOY working on the least? Why?

The assignment I liked the least was probably the video reviews, while I found them helpful to the course and some of them were very interesting, it got a little bit repetitive doing the blog posts on the video reviews for the last couple weeks. Most of the videos were an hour long so it definitely took longer to write up the main ideas and relate them to the text.

3. How did you like using ANGEL?

I liked using ANGEL a lot. I think the way the modules were set up was really organized and helpful. 

4. If you had the opportunity to change this course:

-What would you keep? I would keep the blog, I thought that was unique to this course as I have never been required to keep a blog before. It was a good organization tool to keep things in one place and it was helpful to have access to my classmates' blogs to see their perspectives, ideas, and project outcomes.

-What would you remove? I would remove some of the video reviews just because it became tedious at the end. They would have been nice maybe every other week.

-What would you add? I can't think of anything specific I would add. We definitely had a lot of assignments that kept me busy. 

5. Would you recommend this course to your peers?

Yes, I would recommend this course to my peers. However, I would warn them that there are so many assignments. I did a pretty good job keeping up with everything. I think I only missed 1 assignment and was maybe late on 2 things, but I think in total we had about 50 assignments including the discussions, blog posts, projects, quizzes, and extra credit opportunities. I am not used to that from other courses I have taken. I put a lot of time into this class between the readings, writing assignments, projects, and watching videos. I don't think I would have kept up as well if I had taken this course during the fall or spring semesters. 

6. Please list any other comments you would like to share.

This was a good course. A good size workload but I felt it was well spread out and graded fairly. I learned a lot more than I thought I was going to and I learned to like art a lot more than I did before.
