REFLECTIONS ON WEEK 1 (AP English + expository writing)

1.  Are there any factors that you think are going to affect your participation or experience in this class? Access to a computer?   Since I have access to a computer at home, turning in stuff is not going to be a problem. The problem would be finding the time to do it. I believe this is going to be the biggest problem with this course. However, I knew this class was going to be time-consuming so I guess I shouldn't complain about it now. Just go through it.
2.  an awesome  learning experience that changed you.  Throughout my school life, the best way I have learned is by doing something physical after the teacher have given a lecture. I find the lecture helpful because most of the time the key concepts are explained and when I do the activity, I understand it better.
3. What are you most [excited/concerned] about in this class? What do you look forward to in learning?  The thing that I’m most excited about in this class is learning how to present myself through the internet.  I also want to experience the freedom that this course gives me.
