I actually really liked this class. I thought it was fun and I liked learning the material. The blogs were the only thing that I did not like only because it would be hard to remember to them for homework, especially when I had nothing else to do for homework and i did not start it in class. Over all I really enjoyed it. I liked the project we did, and I liked that we did not have to do alot of projects. It would be really good if there were more videos and stuff like that because I feel like I am a more visual learner. I did, however, really liked how much depth that would be put into everything, like how it would be explained thoroughly and very detailed.
