M15 Extra Credit

1. Which assignment did you ENJOY working on the best? Why?

My favorite assignment was definitely from M13 where we got to "curate" our own exhibit. This one was the easiest and most fun for me to get through since it allowed for some level of creativity and I could explore artists that I liked rather than just the ones that were assigned.

2. Which assignment did you ENJOY working on the least? Why?

 I dont think I had a least favorite assignment, but the ones that required us to watch really old videos weren't at the top of my list. I do realize that sometimes that's just what is available as far as educational content, just some of the old white dudes were really annoying to listen to (please insert a shoulder shrug here)

3. How did you like using BLACKBOARD?

Blackboard is not awful. For the most part its pretty easy to navigate and I didn't have any technological issues with it this semester.

4. What is your opinion of the Discussion Groups in this course?

I do not love discussion groups online in general. I understand the point behind them and that with an online class there;s no other option, I just feel like tone and intention are much different on there than they might be in real life.

5. Did you participate in any of the extra credit projects in previous modules? If so, what was your opinion of them? (mandala, elgin marbles, culture, art critics)

I did participate in a few and I really enjoyed both. I liked having a project that sent me out to do my own research rather than just regurgitating information from a video.
6. If you had the opportunity to change this course:

What would you keep? I enjoyed all of the topics we covered, and definitely the curator project.

What would you remove? I did not love having to comment on fellow students blogs and thought that it just felt phony and insincere.

What would you add? I really enjoyed the art critic extra credit assignment and feel like that's something that should be chatted about more in class

7. Would you recommend this course to your peers?

For sure, as long as they are comfortable with an online class. I truly struggled with a lot of different aspects of this class (most of them were my own issues with self motivation and had nothing to do with the actual course/instructor/content)
