Further Discussion

In this class I have learned a lot and I found all of the concepts learned in this course to be interesting and helpful. I know that all of the material I have learned throughout this course will help me in my future. On concept that I really enjoyed learning about was the marketing strategies and about advertisements. This was my favorite chapter because everything the book talked about was true. I had no idea about the store strategies when they try to get us customers stay longer to buy more things that they didn’t plan on buying in the first place. Before reading this chapter I had no idea this took place, however, when I think about it now, I realize that their strategy does work, because in the end I do end up buying something I didn’t plan for. I learned a lot of new information about marketing and advertisements through this chapter. 

Favorite and least favorite things

One of my favorite things about this online course was having the ability to work at my own pace. Even though it did require a lot of work, I was willing to put in the effort and take out time just for this class. Another thing I liked about this class is that I was able to meet new people. I didn’t think we would meet our peers because it was an online class but with the Group Facilitation project, we got together and worked on it as a team. The last thing I liked about this class was all of the information learned throughout the entire course, because I know it will benefit me in the future. One of my least favorite things about this class was having to wait 12 hours for the next post! Sometimes I just like to get things done in just one go and do everything all together. This cannot really be improved because some people actually do work better when their work is spaced out. 

What I have learned

I have learned a lot from this class. Prior to taking this class I assumed that this was going to be a very simple and easy class because it was online. However, I was proven wrong because this class requires a lot of work. But in the end this class has taught me so much. For example, I am able to manage my time more wisely, because with this course I had to make sure I took out time to focus on this class in order to get an A. One of the main concepts I leaned thought this course was how to examine and how to form an argument. This is an essential thing to know and learn because you use it in your every day life and in your future career. Having skills to examine arguments will allow you to be affective in your own arguments and will allow you to succeed further.
