Honestly I am not really a fan of blogging, that's why I am always late for the deadline of posting blogs and responding to others.
I do think it's a good way of communication for students and professors, especially for those students who are shy to speak in the class. and as a foreign student, I think this blog helps us to improve writing skills, even though it is not a formal essay writing, it does increase my interesting of writing. i do not have to worry too much about my sentence structures and grammar; the topic is easy to write and really interesting too. in addition, it is a good way to know people around me in class. Usually I can not name most of my classmates in school but for this class, I feel I know more people through the blogs.
I guess it just my personality, or honestly, I am too slack off to update this blog. I am enjoying to read others' blogs and their thoughts about things related to the management. But somehow it's hard for me to respond.
At times while reading a blog, I tend to have difficulty of how to respond. But then when I actually think about it, I realize that the best thing, for myself in responding, is to comment on something that I found interesting or I really wasn't sure about. In that way it shows what you think and how you are relating to the person...

Yea I do agree! Writing a blog isn't that much about being too formal or not, because it is about expressing your views.
Although I am not a foreign student, I do agree with you that it is a good way of improving your writing skills. I am also a shy student and do not speak in class very much, if at all, so I find the blog to be a good way to communicate to the class without having to talk in class. I also agree with you that you feel like you know the other students even if you have never spoken with them, just through there blog.
ReplyDeleteI feel the blog was a good outlet for those who are shy as I am and can see it as a good tool for improving communication skills as well for foreign students. Sorry you had trouble with deadlines...seems to be a common thread.
