final post

Some common themes in this semester’s content are contemporary romanticism enlightenment philosophy and ancient in the We covered contemporary in the earlier more modern works like the Elton john and Emily Dickenson and these works are contemporary because they were either popular or were composed in the recent years. When we covered romanticism we read the last songs and other works that dealt heavily in emotion and feelings. Enlightenment works that we covered like the declaration of independence and the marriage of Figaro were considered enlightenment because there works of either art or historic literature that includes completely new thought up concepts for the time period. When we studied philosophy we looked at Aristotle and Socrates and their views on many things and how they still matter to us today And finally we covered ancient epic literature which mainly had to do with ancient religion and beliefs about gods and the ways of life more specifically war and death. This semester we did blogs instead of quizzes and although I love my personal blog I didn’t really enjoy the blogs in replace of quizzes because I had the hardest time remembering that we had to do them even if I did the homework, also I detested the blogs because I tend to not be very computer savvy and there for lost points sometimes for minor things that I cannot do nor no how to figure out. I feel like the daily quizzes would help me learn more because we would probably end up going over the questions in class rather than just skip over the assignment at the beginning of class. I also would rather write a structured essay because I have more experience writing papers and essays and there easier to keep up with in my mind and instructor feedback would be more throughout. The blog is portable which is a plus then again so are laptops and papers and quite honestly I have never heard of a prestigious company hiring someone because they can blog they may consider the originality but I do believe that in that particular case it depends on the job one is applying for say for instance if I were to apply for a CEO position at Boeing they would laugh in my face but if I were applying to be a teacher they would consider it because it could be used to the teachers advantage … well that’s all have a nice summer
