Online Education Review

Online Education

Online classes are a great option for students who have busy schedules. I love the freedom that online classes give you. It is nice to be able to do your classwork at your own pace and not have to worry about going to class two to three times a week. One of my favorite online classes was my history class. My history teacher posted all of the assignments and tests for the semester and then gave us a deadline on when we had to complete them. If you wanted to, you could take a test each week or you could wait until the last minute but it did not matter as long as you finished everything by the deadline. This was really convenient because it let each student set their own pace and allowed you to finish the class as early or as late as you wanted to.

OU Gen. Ed. Review

OU General Education Review

Although I feel that some Gen. Ed. classes are a waste of time, some of the Gen. Ed. classes I have taken have been some of my favorite classes. For my Gen. Ed. language credit, I decided to take Italian and then after 2 grueling semesters I switched to Cherokee. I am currently in Cherokee III and I have to say that it has been one of my favorite classes. The language is so much fun and my professor, Mrs. Armer, is fantastic. For the most part, the same group of classmates I had in Cherokee I have stayed together through Cherokee III. We have become like a little family and it’s great to have that kind of support system. Bonding with the same people for 3 semesters is so much fun and it makes going to class every day that much more fun. My History of American Musical Theatre has also been an awesome Gen. Ed. fine arts class. Watching and analyzing musicals was a blast and I couldn’t believe that a class like that exists. Everything about that class was fantastic and I still recommend it to people to this day.

College Writing Review

College Writing Review

Throughout my college career, I have been exposed to many different forms of writing. I’ve wrote everything from standard run of the mill English papers to theatre reviews. As a Psychology major, the majority of the writing I have done is researched based. Research writing is very different from other forms of writing because it is all about the structure. This type of writing leaves very little room for creativity and is strictly about conveying information and new ideas. I have also written compare and contrast pieces and analytical pieces about different types of music. In my African Repercussions class, all of our tests were essay based and we had to write a paper analyzing lyrics to specific songs. Once again, these pieces were about conveying ideas and information.

My favorite things I have written are for this class and for my History of American Musical Theatre class. Both of these classes gave the writers creative freedom to write whatever it was that came flowing out of our minds. Although the reviews I wrote in my theatre class were about conveying information, it was less structured. We got to offer our opinions about different shows we watched in class and live at OU. Much like this class, my theatre class allowed each student to have their own voice and writing style. We may have all had the same opinions about the plays we watched but, each paper had a different feel.
