It’s quite difficult to point one particular assignment out of all that I have done. Still, given a choice, I would say one of my favorite among all would be a narrative assignment. As the assignment suggests it has to be story-based with the opening, plot, or body of the story, characters, situation, and an ending that pulls the reader closer to my work. I liked this because I had to become more visualizing, creative, and dramatic so that my story has the hero, heroine, villain, and situation which weaved in well for a narrative assignment.
This allowed me to read more books, look at situations differently and look out for the phrases or vocabulary which could be explicitly used in my work. Things which I could have done better: We all learn from mistakes and make things better next time if given a chance. In online learning, I would say I could have done better with my time and resource management well. After seeing my grades, I felt if I had properly assigned my tasks with timelines I could have done a better job. I could have set time to study, revise and prepare for my exams which could have got me better scores.
My strengths: I have developed well with learning new vocabulary. I made it a practice to use all new words whenever I had a chance to use them. This made me stronger with my command of language and got me a better position in peer groups as well. The weakness of online learning: I miss the opportunity of getting practical experience which is well brought out in classroom sessions. Here we do interactions but they are limited and we are not physically present to each other. Sharing and learning from real experiences was a bit less in this learning.
Conclusion: On the whole, this journey of learning was amazing. I have gained more and have been putting all the learned lessons into practice too. I would strongly recommend the English 095 online class to all my near and dear for their further learning.
