Weekly Review Week 5

How did the reading go for you this week? What struck you the most in this week's reading? Were there ideas you struggled with? 
     Readings went well for me this week.  I struggled with the reading regarding Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton only because the content I found to be incredibly frustrating and sad for those involved.  The "land commissions" established to determine land titles which essentially allowed rightfully owned land to be stolen was heartbreaking and a theme that we see repeated throughout history and continue to see today in some ways without the commissions.Where did you do your best writing this week — in this class? In another class?  Have you discovered some good strategies for helping yourself focus on writing for this class?

    The best strategy I can use right now is to take advantage of my days off of work to do my readings and posts.  Allowing myself more time away from work is giving me more much needed study time.

Did you read something excellent written by someone else in the class? What made it stand out to you? 
     I read several posts from classmates this week and commented on several either for project planning or introductions I had not yet read.  It was interesting to see all the different personalities and interests that everyone has.

How are things going in your other classes? Are there any connections you are noticing between your other classes and stuff you are doing for this class?
     My other classes are going well for the most part.  I am struggling to keep up in this class and one other out of the five that I am currently taking.  I will need to better balance out my time to dedicate to each class.  This is the only class I am currently taking structured this way so it is a bit different than the others in that way.

What are your plans and hopes for next week in this class? In your other classes? 
     Plan is to catch up and then get ahead.  I do not typically fall behind in any classes so this is new to me and I know I will need to work hard to get back to where I want to be.  My hope is to maintain my 4.0 GPA.

Week 8 Reading and Writing

     I still find navigating through all the different sites a little frustrating because different pieces of information are all in different places. A lot of the bigger projects or assignments don’t sync with Canvas and show on the “to-do” list so it takes some extra work to keep everything organized and finish on time. Having the extra credit available is helpful.  English has always been my strongest subject yet I seem to be struggling with this subject the most this semester.      Just staying organized will help with the rest of the semester as well as taking advantage of any and all extra credit available to make up for missing assignments or missed opportunities.
