Week 15 Reading Evaluations

My favorite reading for this semester is Ramayana. I mean, we did spend like three weeks on it so I am glad I enjoyed it. Though the epic was an enjoyable read, I really liked the different renditions of it from different authors. My favorite would have to be Sita Sings the Blues.

My advice to the new batch of students coming in next semester is to only do one reading diary a week. Since it is only two points, it can easily replaced by an extra credit assignment, something I wished I had realized sooner in the semester. This way, it doesn't seem like so much reading. Also, using bullet points in your reading diaries helps out a lot. At first, I thought the balance between all the reading, writing, and commenting was going to be difficult.  However, once you get the hang of it, it really wasn't too bad. If you decide to do a storybook project, use Wix.com, it is my favorite. Also do the tech tips all at once. I

Week 15 Reflections

       I cannot believe that this semester is basically over. I am so glad this class enabled us to tap into our creative sides. The use of blogger has actually inspired me to take notes this way. I love that you can label it  and it can be accessible on any computer without having to email it to yourself. The tech tips have definitely helped me in improving how I take notes on blogger, especially how to add YouTube videos on here. I also liked that it made me see that it is nice to write about things other than stats and research. Though we did a lot of writing for this class, it wasn't as daunting as I thought it would be. I am really proud of my story book project. It was also really cool seeing everyone else's creative projects as well. Just wanted to add this video to end the class on a high note. Have a good summer everyone!

     I found this picture on the Learning by HEART blog and Professor Gibbs said that she could not find the source of it. After doing a reverse image search I think it is found in this book by Monica Sheehan. Check out this Youtube video that posted pictures of the book.

Week 14 Extra Credit Reading

       Another rendition of Mahabharata but in prose only form. I love stories in prose form because I find the writing to be very beautiful. I am glad that I read the story version of Mahabharata first as a prequel to understanding the words of Romesh Dutt. I also think the separation of stories in different books and chapters makes it easier to read as well. Book One introduces the Bharatas and the Pandavas and the war brewing between the two families. Book two introduces the brothers' wife Draupadi.
