Management
You taught me to be creative
with one egg dropping activity,
to communicate effectively
with one drawing activity,
to have a vision
with one informative video,
to be a leader
with the power to lead,
to be a manager
with my strength and weakness.
To be or not to be
this is no longer a question.

Communicating via Blog
I believe doing blog assignment has been an interesting, unique, and effective way to get value from this class. It definitely provides a way for us to communicate and express our ideas and thoughts in an easy and effective way. Since the class time is limited, not everyone gets to express their thoughts or comments on the subject matter. For those students that do not participate in class because they are shy or for any other reason also got a chance to share with the class. Constantly writing on the blog also improves my communication and writing skill.
Most of the time the blog assignment ask us to summarize what we did during activities and discuss about them. I think this is great in which we can read about how other classmates think about the same activity differently in different group or in the same group. This is very helpful to realize my own perception of what happened compare to what other perceived.
I really like reading the articles on the professor's website, mainly because they share many interesting ideas and arguments that I never think about. Replying and commenting on the blog gave me opportunities to express my arguments.
Earning 20% of our grade just by responding on a timely basis feels like it's a giveaway. Because we don't have to study or memorize anything or get stress out like we would for the test.
I would definitely plan to post more management related thoughts on my blog because I had made many friends on blog. Also, I will be taking another management class next semester. This would be perfect opportunity to continue my blog.
In addition, I think we should have more blog assignments (increase to 30%) with only one test during the semester. The only problem I had with blog is that sometimes the comments I reply to classmate's blog didn't get posted. So I have to type up the comments again. This might be my own internet problem or the blog.
