Is it really the last class already? Where the heck did the semester go? So we are going to eat, drink, and read portfolios! I have enjoyed doing peer reviews throughout this semester. I have found them to be really valuable. I have come to trust my classmates opinions and feedback on my work and I have found that reading their work to be an incredible benefit. I can't tell you how many times I visited my classmates blogs to see what they were up to and what they were writing about. Their thoughts inspired me and kept me going!
I think we have all come a long way this semester. It was fun reading through the portfolios of my 2 classmates and seeing their work. Some of the pieces in their portfolios helped me to improve on sections of my own work. One of my colleagues had a great course plan and I borrowed some of his plan for my own. I liked his class choices and they were much the same as the ones I had chosen. It was interesting to see how we had all set up our websites and why we chose to do what we did. One of my colleagues chose to use a "thematic" approach for her portfolio. My approach was more linear. It's all a personal style! Seeing each others pictures and reading blogs was highly entertaining and informative. It was nice to know that we all were suffering the same pain at times during class! We all have such a diverse collection of research interests. It will be interesting to see where our interests take us in the next couple of years.
