Week 15: Reflection of the Course!











1. What do you like about blogging?

Blogging provides me a new space for sharing my thoughts and ideas with others. It also gives an opportunity for me to my other friends’ opinions and feelings especially about this course. Blogging has introduced me a new way of telling my point of views to the readers.



2. What you do not like about blogging?

It can’t be denied that blogging is a good way of giving opinions and sharing our thoughts. However, it is quite difficult for me to maintain it. This is because I’m not a person that always updates my blog from time to time. So, it won’t be able to get readers’ attention to keep reading my new entries.



3. What have you gained from blogging e.g. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc. How?

For me, blogging helps me in improving my writing skills. This is in terms of writing with less grammatical errors and I’ve improved a lot in elaborating each idea in my writing.
