Looking back on this course, I definitely feel like I’ve improved on many different things, specifically, the way that I interpret texts and my ability to analyze stories from many different perspectives instead of just one. Whether it was our face to face discussions, or our online work, I realized just how many different perspectives there can be to a story. Certain viewpoints that I had never considered all of a sudden became so much clear after hearing from my classmates and listening to their point of view on stories that we read. Furthermore, I think that the free writings that we would do during class helped me improve my writing skills. It taught me that sometimes it is better not to overthink too much and really just focus in on a particular topic and write about it. I think that one aspect that I still need to improve on is my communication skills. I don’t think I was as active in our class discussions as I should’ve been so that is something I’m looking to improve upon in the future.

I agree that my analytical skills have been improved in this class. With all the posts we’ve had to write analyzing works, I think we have all improved on that skill. In terms of improving communication skills, I think it is important to remember to be comfortable sharing your opinions because there is no wrong opinions.

Hi Muneeb, I also noticed that I did not participate much by the middle of the semester but something I did was that I tried to say something at least once in every class even if, to me, what I said did not have much relevance or add anything to the conversation. I found that by doing so, I became more and more comfortable sharing and participating. I still struggle to participate at least once in every class but I think I have improved tremendously. Maybe this advice could work for you too!
