OU Email Tech Tip: Week 15

I have previously used folders to organize my personal account and to keep track of important emails that I may need in the future. I try to continually delete my mail so my inbox never gets to full.

Class Writing: Week 15

I have a split view on the writing that was required for this class. I tend to be a good writer when it comes to research papers but the writing in the class often challenged me because of the creativity aspect that was required. I think this in the end hurt me, I didn't like to do storytelling posts because I never felt like they were creative or good. I think the reading diary posts were beneficial if you ever needed to look back on a previous weeks readings. However, I never really needed to do so. I think I would have preferred to take quizzes over the readings rather than having to do so much writing. I chose to do the portfolio option which was easier for me but still a struggle. I would have much rather written a research paper over any variety of Indian culture topics. I think this would be a good option to add into the mix for those of us who are more analytical and less creative.

Reading Suggestions: Week 15

I think the changes that you are planning on making would be a great way to mix things up week to week. I know that I personally got bored with the Narayan and Buck versions and often wanted a change of pace. I think the myth-folklore stories that we were provided towards the end of the semester gave a good look into another facet of Indian myth and provided a different viewpoint than we had previously seen. I think the change would benefit your future students and help to keep them interested in the material.
