Q1: How do you like the weekly writing prompts? Are they interesting or boring? Inspirational or weird? Are they related to your life? Can you suggest anything better and give some examples?
I like the weekly writing prompts; I think those topics or issues are interesting and related to my life. They are not only interesting but also inspired me to think.
Q2: Do you like the two-way online discussion with your keypal? Or do you think we should have more people (like 3~4 students) form a group blog to exchange ideas? Why or why not?
I like the idea of the two-way online discussion with my key pal; however, when the theory put in to action, it might encounter a lot of difficulties. For my own experience, once one side of the student could not finish the task on time, it would be difficult for his or her partner to finish her own part. For this reason, I think more people to discuss one topic might be better. I believe that if more people participate in the same task, we might know more different ideas about the issues or it might inspire us to think those topics from different angles.
Q3: Have you encountered any difficulties during the semester when using blogs to discuss with your keypal, e.g., computer problems or anything?
Actually, I think the whole process was quite successful, despite we don’t get a lot of chance to discuss the topics.
Q4: How do you like the project website? Are they friendly enough? Have we left out any important content? How do you like the layout/design?
In fact, I love the project website. It is delicate and it is very convenient to see our task every week due to the link. I also like the pictures or videos about our every week tasks. It makes us easier to understand the topics or sometimes it even inspires me to come up some thoughts about the tasks.
Q5: What have you gained from this blog activity?
From this blog activity, I learn to express my thoughts in a more efficient way. I also learn to think things in other ways, in different angles. The most important is I try to think more, I try to show concern to the latest issues.
Q6: If you had an opportunity to start over, would you have done anything differently? If so, how?
Since I already saw others’ thoughts about those issues, if I can start over again, I might have more thoughts to express.

Week Thirteen
Q1: Please offer your suggestions as how we can grade your performance better?
First, I think the content is the most important part to grade our performance. The reason why I think that the content is the most important is that to write blogs is to show our opinions of the topic and to share our thoughts about the issues.
Second, the grammar and the writing skills are also important. This class is about writing, so the way we present our ideas also matters. The ability of writing will affect the readers’ understanding about our thoughts. That is why grammar and some other writing skills should also be valued.
Third, the last but not least, I think how much efforts we make in writing the blog is also very important. For myself, maybe I am not doing very well every time, but at least I try hard and I take those tasks seriously every time.
Q2: Based on the criteria you suggested in Q1, please give a score to yourself and explain how you’ve earned it.
I think I would give myself 7, since I try my best to fully express my opinions of those topics, and I do think a lot before I write the blogs. However, there must be some other improvements I can make. For example, I saw other’s blog and the ways they presented their thoughts are clearer than mine. Also, I found myself bad at grammar, though I tried to pay a lot of attention to it; there must be some mistakes that I didn’t notice. But I think I make a lot of effort to write those blogs. I also think that I learned a lot from writing these blogs.
Q3: Based on the criteria you suggested in Q1, please give a score to your partner and explain how s/he has earned it.
I would give my partner 6. First of all, I believe that she might be very busy so that she can not do the tasks on time. However, it is a little unprofessional to catch up the progress at one time. It also makes me hard to do some tasks too. Nevertheless, I think that she presented her ideas and thoughts briefly but clearly which I should learn from her.
