Assignment 26- Doug Vaughan

Overall I've enjoyed this class. I looked forward to it every day as it was a easygoing class that challenged me. I went back and looked at a few of my blog posts at the beginning of the year and it is so crazy how much better I have become at writing. The big boost to my writing came from when we graded essays, as I learned from my classmates successes and mistakes of their essays as well as getting feedback on mine. I felt prepared for the essays but the multiple choice however I didn't. I was one of those kids whenever we did a multiple choice test stopping in the middle of it. Forgive me, I remember you gave us a reason why you didn't grade the practice test but I cant recall it. However, I think it could be beneficial to students to turn this into a grade giving them incentives to try on it. It shouldn't be too hard as students don't need any more stress than they already have. Maybe you could solve this problem by creating a big curve which would grant people full points if they get over 30% right so they wouldn't sleep the whole time and then fill in all the bubbles at the end. My logic might make no sense to you or contain many flaws but I'm just suggesting an idea that would've worked for me. I feel I have greatly progressed academically this year thanks to this class as it has improved my english and reading has always been my weaker subjects in school, this improvement can also be seen by 6 point jump in both of those ACT sub score areas from last year to this year.  Thanks for the help and the memories Logsdon, have a nice summer and I will see you next year (or around town).
