Mythology and Folklore

(We Can Do It! from  Wikipedia ) I would say I'm pretty happy with my progress so far. My weekly routine has had to adjust a bit to work around my work schedule, but it has not been difficult. I would like to say I'm most proud of my Sun Wu Kung story, and am enjoying the Project assignments. I plan on utilizing the extra credit options more in the future also, as my grade is 3 points shy of an A at the moment. For the rest of the semester I think I just need to keep my head down and focus on the assignments rather than pushing them off like I sometimes do. I missed a few assignments recently and it hurt my grade a decent bit. So going forward I need to not do that again.

( cheezburger ) As far as the feedback I have received thus far from my peers and professor, I'd like to give it all high ratings. There have been several instances where a peer's feedback has led me to a new idea, which is always nice. For the feedback I give, I'd like to think I'm being fairly constructive and offering advice that provokes thought about the story I'm reading, as well as helping my classmates to further their writing. I do enjoy having my introduction post as a place where people can learn a bit more about me and understand where I'm coming from. I don't, however, really feel like I know the people whose introductions I comment on. There are a lot of things you can learn about a person and still never really know them, and there's a difference between knowing a person and knowing about them. I feel like that line is toed but not crossed. I think for the future I should mainly continue taking the advice of my peers...

(Simpsons+Odyssey+1 from  DeviantArt ) 1. I think the most relevant thing to my progress so far has been the feedback I've been getting from my fellow students, as well as from our professor. The outside opinions looking at my works have been extremely helpful in correcting small grammar errors as well as helpful in new suggestions. 2. I chose this favorite image because I am particularly fond of the Simpsons. On top of that, the play-on-words of "Homer's Odyssey" correlating to this image was pretty funny to me.  3. Looking forward, I probably need to reread the readings each week to get a better understanding of the material, as well as to understand the underlying pieces of the text. I'm sure there are several pieces that I've read that I have not paid enough attention to, and could have pulled more out of the pieces in my notes.
