Blog 14

Its crazy to look back at this semester and see how my blog post have evolved and how the rest of my classmates blogs have changed. I think its really cool how I’ve noticed my writing styles changing and getting better over time. I would have to say that I am most proud of my blog about house music. Its a topic that Im passionate about and I think it is one of my finest posts. I really enjoyed writing for an audience because it made me change my style. I was very used to writing for teachers only and I think I developed my own style when I realized I was going to be presenting to an audience. I also think I got better at commenting on other peoples work. In the beginning it was very generic posts that I was posting but near the end I think I was going way more in depth. Some things Ive noticed that I would want to change are how I begin and end my posts and comments. I realized that I began almost every post the same way and I ended every comment in the same way. I think that I would like to change this in the future. I do believe that I got to know my classmates even though we never met face to face. I started to recognize patterns of their posts and writing styles and I think that is a pretty cool feature of the class. The big thing I took out of the auditory/visual context is that, in music, its not only what you hear, but what you see has a lot to do with music. This is especially important in music video and live performances and concerts. Its all about how the show is brought together and I think it was a really cool unit. Overall I really enjoyed this course and I would for sure recommend it to my peers.
