Final Blog Assignment



Well, first of all, i had some trouble with my internet connection yesterday so I couldn't upload it, i hope you can still accept it :S.


And, I really liked the form of work in the class it was cool sometimes and boring in other times. It was to cool to have you as a teacher again this semester and I hope we can have you next one to. I also want to thank my complete team for the good work during all of the semester, it was an honor to work with you gentlemen, and I really think this blog was a good experience, it was fun to work with the blogs, and the assignment of the band was my favorite xD. The movies were also really cool, especially the one of the geek and the pervy black dude xD, and slumdog millionarie was a cool movie to.

Thanks for this wonderfull semester teacher, and we hope to "C" you again.

Third Partial Proyect and Final Blog Assignment

The blog idea was at first totally new for me, since I've never used these sort of webpages before (except Metroflog). However, I never thought about it being boring. In fact, It was extremely fun to me to work on it! Some were of course better than others, but nonetheless, it was an experience I will love to keep for myself forever, from the assignments we had to do, to the friendship and teamwork that every week we had to show.

I hope to see you again next semester, and to see once again these great ideas that you somehow find!

Take care!

Farewell (Marcos)

Well, i dont know what to say, i really enjoyed this semester and this awesome class of Advance Writing. Being 100% honest, i wasnt sure about this blog system because i have never worked on one before, but it was really cool and entertaining,and as my teammates said, it was an easier way to ''hand in'' our homeworks.

I enjoyed every task (except the slumdog millionaire one because i got confused with the end of the movie and those were my questions about) but it was really cool to know about how different each person thinks (assignment 1) and also to read all the stories we've done in this class(since assignment 2). By the way, this last assignments were the best ones, the photo scavenger and the group bio were my favourites.

Also, thanks to my team, Alain, Leunam, Erick and Pablo, it was really good and fun to work with the 4 of you, and thanks for helping me to trust more on my teammates, because i wasnt sure about if we were going to do well and to post our tasks on time on the blog, (because im from vanguardia haha8-)- joking)

Mr. C, thanks for everything you taught to us, writing essays was fun,and im sure i will never forget how to write a thesis or the outlines. As everyone is saying, I hope next semester we can have you as our teacher,because you are a great one, and as Pablo said, not like others,and i hope we can use this blog again, and to have assignments like the ones we had to do.

And..... well that's it
See You Area107 ;)

Farewell Message


Well teacher what can I say, I loved the blog system. It's been fun and entertaining. Also I love your class (specially when you make us see movies). Thanks to you, I got an excuse to go to the theater and see "Slumdog Millionaire".

Also, the whole essay and paragraph theme of this semester was fun to work on.

I don't know what else to say to you Mr. C... I enjoyed your class alot (even if I "sometimes" fell asleep). I really hope next semester me can have you as ur teacher again.

Farewell Message

Well, I haven't started with the video presentation yet so I thought I could start with this job. First of all, thanks for everything Mr C.! you are a really good teacher, not like the others, you can really relate a lot with your students and you know how to take simple things like homework and turn it into something more easy and fun like a blog. The blog system was in my opinion a good thing to hand in homeworks. We spent a lot of time in the computer and that made it simple to do the assignments, its a modern way of homework. The only bad thing about this system is that my laptop cant upload or post anything into the blog, dont know why but thats the only inconvenient. Keep up with the blog system!! its really cool and I hope it makes your job easy too. Hope I see you in another semester you are a cool guy.

Final blog assignment



Thus, this is the end for this blog. These past weeks we've had easy tasks, and this very last one is not the exception. Below is the professor's post:

I don't know about you guys, but I've had a blast using blogs this semester. I am very proud of all of you for sticking with this and for being so enthusiastic about it as well. This is the first time I've used blogs in this way, so extensively, and I hope it was interesting and fun for you to do. I know it was interesting and fun for me to READ (besides having to deal with the occasional bad word or an occasional smartass like Edna). You are all very smart, very creative, and I would always read your entries with a big smile on my face. I am proud to have each and every one of you as my students.

With that said, your final blog assignment is to simply write a farewell to your blog, to your Advanced Writing class, and to me (at least for this semester, anyway). I also want you to tell me what you liked about using blogs, and what you didn't like. Was it too hard? Too easy? What is your honest opinion about this whole experience?

You can post your farewell message and your project video in the same entry. The deadline for both of these things (uploading your video and the message) is Friday, May 29th @ 11 p.m.

Have fun guys, and thank you for making me so proud.

You heard it boys. Make your comment come from your heart. It was great to have a team like you, and may this have helped you in some way like it did to me.

Take care and good luck on your final assignment!

Alain
