THE LAST STEP

There are several things I would like to say in this last submission like the knowledge learned through these sixteen weeks. This was a great experience that if is the case, I might take it again. I can say a lot of things about the course, the classmates, and the homework and so on. To start, I would say that I have learned and done things that I did not think I would be able to do. Not at the beginning of the class. Nowadays, I can say now that I know a little bit more about singers and musical styles that I did not know before. It is most easy for me now to understand the musical tastes of people no matter the age and at the same time, understand why some singer or style is the preferred of the young adults. At the beginning I was a little scared because it was the first time for me to take an online course and because of I thought it might overwhelm me, however, while the days were passing by, with the practice acquired with homework, the readings and writings, and with the comments of the classmates and the peer review activities, I started to feel more confident. Sometimes I was feeling really tired because it was not the only course in this semester that I was enrolled in, and the house tasks, my son’s swimming practices, and all the things related with the house, collaborated to have less time that the one I would like to dedicate to the course. In fact, I used to write my blog, the Music and Culture and They Say I Say homework at the Marie Kerr Pool while my son was practicing at Frogs Aquatic Swimming Team. I remember being reading and answering the questions asked in those books and writing a draft of the essays. However, while the days were passing by, I accommodated my times and was easier for me to achieve the goals in the due dates of each assignment. Perhaps the essays were the hardest part of the course. Actually, I am still in a struggle with the last one, it is kind of hard in trying to expose the argument, but despite all my concerns and doubts, I am pretty sure that what I am doing now it is much better than what I used to do.

Overall, I can say that I have learned a lot of things in this class. I learned how to analyze a behavior through music and their exponents. This was a different class for me but I think it was one of the best classes I have ever taken. I know the things learned will help me in my next courses since I already know how to use some tools for writing and to describe and expose an idea. I am really grateful to the teacher because she spent some value time with us and because her instructions were really helpful. I would like to thank also to the classmates that with their comments helped me to analyze an exposed situation or to agree with any idea I proposed.
