3 Important Things

This class was very beneficial in many ways. It taught me very several important things about writing in general and also about organizing myself in an effective manner. First, the way the class was composed, being online, forced responsibility upon me. I had to usually find out of my own what the certain deadlines were and act accordingly. Reponsibility like this is an important asset to have when entering the real world. In addition to responsibility, the class taught me how to make a website. Learning how to make the website was often fustrating, but was the most interesting. Having the capability to make my own website is something that is very important in this day and age and is really priceless. The third thing that I learned from this class was that technical writing is much more prevalent in the real world than I ever thought. I never realized that my dad was actually a technical writer, editing the Review of Optometry. While writing in a certain profession isn't always neccessary, it does make a person much better at what they do.

Overall, this class taught me how hard an online class can be. I didnt go into this class thinking it would be really easy, but I didn't believe it would be this hard. The meetings once a week were helpful, but the class still involves an immense amount of personal responsibility. This personal responsibility was the most useful component that I gained from the class.
