Extra Credit

This was my fist time using a blog before RTF 305. I read a few music blogs before I signed up for the course, but I never wrote my own. I am really glad I signed up for RTF 305, I had a great time taking the course. I didn’t quite look forward to blogging every Sunday, but blogging for the  first time was an interesting experience. There were many positive aspects of suing the blogs in RTF. It was definitely an easy way to earn some extra points, especially since the assignments were never too difficult, and quite interesting. Blogging every Sunday ensured that I was caught up in the class and knew what was going on. It helped me understand a lot of the important topics we covered, especially when I read another student’s blog and their interpretation on the topic/idea. I didn’t really encounter many difficulties during the blogging process, except that it was hard to remember to blog every Sunday. And, if I did have any difficulties, I could easily read another’s blog and have figured it out. The blogs in which we had to define an important term and provide an example for it were very useful. It really helped me understand some key and important terms, which was very helpful for the exams. For instance spending a whole blog on the term “hegemony” really helped me understand the concept, which proved very useful for exam 1. I definitely recommend using a blog in any future courses at UT, and definitely RTF. It’s a useful way to get other’s interpretations on important ideas and a great way prove your understanding of the material.
