Final Reflection

This class way unlike any class I have ever taken. I have never been a huge writer. Writing was never really my thing. I like doing physical things with my hands. Making, manipulating, hacking anything that I could get my hands on. That is why this class was so interesting. When I realized I was going to have to take a writing class I was not too happy, but it was not something that I could change so I can to terms with its and started looking at what I could take. When I say this class I was intrigued. The thought that went through my head was that if I was going to have to write, it might as well be about something that I like doing in the first place. 

I have learned a lot from this class, both about making and about writing. I still would not call myself a great writer, but I would say that my writing has definitely improved. Most of what I have had to write in the past was essays on books, and research papers that very concrete, but this class was a lot different. It allowed for a lot of creativity, while still maintaining the structure necessary for school learning environment. 

My favorite part of this class was definitely the final make project. I this project we were told to make something. When I first say it I couldn't believe that making something was out final. So I kept in in the back of my head for the majority of the semester, and come time to decide what I was going to make, I had a pretty good idea. It was a little over ambitious, but wheres the fun and safe and easy. I end up completing a huge chunk of what I wanted to do and was very happy about it. This class encouraged me to think about my making process and to try to reflect on and improve it.
