This class has been so beneficial to me. I am so proud of myself, because I now
know how to do things that I would not have even tried to learn for fear of failure.  You
as a professor have pshed us and it has strengthened me tremendously. My fiancee always
did all kinds of cool projects with the computer and I would always look at his work
thinking that he must have been born with a computer gene, but now that I have taken this
course, I know almost as much as him.  Just yesterday, he looked at my webpage and shared
with me how proud he was, thanks to you. So, as an answer to your question, yes ma'am I know I have grown in this course and I am more confident in myself. 
         I now am familiar with many programs, such as Microsoft Word, Composer, PowerPoint, web design, Publisher, and Paint.  I have used most of them before but only on an elementary level.  I could only do the very basic things, but now I feel so comfortable using the programs.  There are still many things that I do not know about the programs, but over all I have learned so much more than I ever thought I could learn in such a short semester.
         I also had frustrations with this course, such as images showing up on my documents, but not on my webpage, the layout changing on some pages once uploaded, not being able to understand your accent clearly sometimes, having trouble downloading WSFTP on my computer at home, and trying to transfer information from one flashdrive to another when working in groups.  The positives in the course definitely outweighed the frustrations, though.  I just had to keep a good attitude and an open mind for correction and frustrations, knowing that they will pass. 
         My favorite project out of all 8 was creating a photo story with pictures of ourselves.  It gave me a chance to finally show everyone who I am marrying and I feel like people care more about that project because it is so personal.  Learning photo story has also helped me in another of my EDU classes.  I was able to make a photo story of people from the Industrial Revolution and then add an old union song behind it.  It should be very powerful.  Oh yeah, did I mention how proud I am of myself? 
         We worked individually most of the time, but in groups some also, and I have to say that I enjoyed working individually the best.  It is hard for me to do group work because I live in Syracuse, so I am not on campus to meet with my group members.  That has been a huge issue, because it seems like every assignment in Block 1 has been group work, and it is frustrating for me and also for my group, and I do not think me not being there for group meetings is fair to them either, but they have all been very understanding and worked well with me.  I chose the alternative to just e-mail everything to them that I would have brought to the meeting. 
         That pretty much sums up my semester.  I have thoroughly enjoyed it and I want to thank you for being consistent with the due dates of assignments, because some of my other teachers have not gone by the syllabus since the first week of school and that has been a huge frustration not knowing when things are due, and you also have been very understanding if a person needs an extension on an assignment.  Those small things that you have done have made all the difference in the world, because I knew what was due and when it was due and if something came up and I could not do it then, you would be fair and give me a little extra time.  So, thank you very much for doing your part and making this class very enjoyable with your enthusiasm on the topics.
