Week 8 Progress

Image
As of right now, I am not doing too bad for the progress of this class. However, I am behind on 4 Project Feedback and Blog Comments assignment, but I am determine to keep it up. I am glad that this online class offers extra credit that could help later in the extra mile when we do need them to make up for. I had a good routine in the the first few weeks. However, school, labs, upper-division courses, med school applications, and volunteer work has been my obstacle when I'm trying to complete the readings and assignments on time for this class. Even though time is challenging in my position for the fall of 2018, I will still try my best and keep my head up. Link Text .

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Image
I actually love this "Comment and Feedback" system for this online class because it gives a better relation to interact with other students in class. This system is very useful in my opinion because we can help other students to become better than we were before in writing. I would definitely rate a 10/10 for the quality of the comments and readings for both the readers and myself. The comments that I found most useful were the positivities and feedback's about my blogs and stories. It is also good that each classmate can make an introduction about themselves because it helps break students out of their shell to feel more comfortable as a person. I chose this image because it describes myself of who I am. There my be times that I do feel like I fail, but that doesn't stop me from pushing myself to be even better. Therefore, providing positive feedback's to other students can be beneficial for their well being, ( cheezburger ).

Week 8 Reading & Writing

Overall, I like my blog and website layout! It has a nice taste that can provide a meaning about myself. It was actually fun writing up a blog post from my thoughts, opinions, and inspirations for creating stories. There were a couple of weeks that have made me feel overwhelmed from the reading and writing assignments due to exams, secondary applications for med schools, labs, volunteer work and so on that provided an overload of my time. I am satisfied about my stories because it actually turned out pretty well and that could give life lessons to the readers. There were a few readings that did shock my about Ravana and the other gods. I didn't know there was a lot of killing in these stories since all I have read from before were Buddhist stories with a happy and life-lesson ending. This semester has been rough for me due to school, applications, volunteer work, personal problems, and so on. However, I am glad to experience my first online class with Epics of India.

Shalya is made supreme commander. Yudhishthira finally agrees to become king. The city of Dwarka was swallowed by the sea.
