Some of My Final Thoughts

I never thought I would take a class that encourage so much. Not only did we have a chance to do something most of us enjoyed but we were able to incorporate it into our writing. Never once did I think this class had too much work, it was the perfect amount. It opened me up to the new digital rhetoric of writing, something that I am highly interested in, and I approached it with an opened mind. It was just enough and it helped me find a new voice when writing that I did not know I had.

I want to say my favorite part of this class was playing games in class, which was up there, but I have to say the favorite part was the writing styles. I learned how to write for a different audience, a gaming audience that requires different tone and word choices than when writing for an academic audience. I love that we wrote game reviews and I think that maybe next time the oral review be optional. I got more from writing then standing in front of the class and talking. But the oral reviews have their place and is why I feel it should be optional.

When in a class will you ever here, "spend the first thirty minutes blogging and Twittering" or "go get on a computer and find a flash game to play"? This is a dream come true for me. Something that help make the class stand out from other classes.

I learned a great deal from this class and I hope it is taught again. The number one thing I am taking with me is my new found voice when writing. I hope to keep it and who knows, maybe I'll be a gave reviewer some day.
