After being in this class for 5 months, it's time to see if our thoughts on being here have changed. If you look back to Sept 15th, the first entry of this blog, you will find all of our original thoughts of being in this class. Not only do we want to reflect on how our thoughts have changed but also where we want to end up when we're finished in June. Each student (all 8 of us) filled out a small questionaire:
1. How have your thoughts about this class changed since Sept 15th?
2. What has been your favorite experience so far?
3. Which jobsite so far has "enhanced your experience" the most?
4. What do you still hope to learn in this class by the end of May?
