Evaluate.

-Had you ever used a blog before attending RTF 305? IF SO, WHAT WAS ITS FOCUS?
I have never used a blog before, I read several blogs but I have never written my own.

- What were the positive aspects of using the blogs in the course?
I thought the blogs were a nice way to review certain topics, and they helped your grade if you choose to do them.

- What difficulties did you encounter in using the blogs? (both technical and conceptual)
The website was pretty self explanatory so I didn't encounter any technological problems. Conceptionally, the blogs were pretty straight forward so I didn't encounter many problems there either.

- If you had difficulties in using the blog, how were you able to overcome the difficulties you encountered?
If I wasn't sure of a concept I just looked at my notes/textbook/online.

- What types of blog prompts were more or less interesting or difficult? (provide an example and rationale)
I liked the one's where you had to use a movie as an example because they really forced you to think about the concept. I realized the concepts where I had to search for a specific example I know better because I had to do more research. 

- Would you recommend using a blog in future course, either in RTF 305 and other undergraduate courses at UT-Austin? (explain why..)
I really like the blog system. In such a technologically savy society it is important to know how to communicate electronically, and I found the blogs to be really helpful. It is also is a unique assignment that isn't too time consuming, so I never had trouble completing them.

- What would you suggest to change or improve the blogging experience in the future?
I would come up with a better grading system because I feel like each TA grades differently/has different grading policies. I also think the blogs should be a grade reinforcer so it should be encouraged to get the 3 points if done on time. Also I like how you are offereing an extra credit blog to make up for one, and think that should be a reoccuring thing.
