Epics of India

1. Looking back. Are you happy with your progress so far? What are you most proud of? Do you have a good weekly routine? What are the class assignments that you enjoy the most? Are you using any of the extra credit options? How have things gone in terms of developing your blog and building your website?  In terms of completing coursework I find my progress to be adequate. I am not particularly proud of any of my work. My weekly routine is fried due to factors external to this class. I do not particularly enjoy any of the assignments. I am no using any of the extra credit options, mostly because I'm lazy. In terms of developing my blog and website, I am ambivalent. As such, "how things have  gone" is a somewhat empty statement to me.  2. Looking forward. Are there any changes you want to make for the second half of the semester? Any pitfalls you want to avoid? Something new you want to try in your writing? Anything you want to change about your blog or your projec...

1. Feedback in . Overall, how would you rate the quality of the comments and feedback you are receiving from other students in the class? What kinds of comments are you finding to be the most useful?  I find that feedback falls into three categories. Feedback from people who are just trying to complete an assignment, people who are genuinely trying to offer genuine feedback, and people who are trying to offer genuine feedback, but are not good writers themselves, and do not know what to optimize for. I find that the most useful feedback is from people who are willing to speak their minds and offer concrete criticism, usually on grammar or homophone misuse, since those are concrete things that should definitely be optimized for.   2. Feedback out . Similarly, how would you rate the quality of the comments and feedback you are leaving for other students? Have you found some good feedback strategies? Are you getting some good ideas for your own writing as you analyz...

Overall, how well are the reading and writing assignments working for you? Existence is pain. Nothing is worth living for. Are you happy with your blog? With your project website? Considering how poorly I react to significant quantities  of attention, my poorly regulated ego, and my tendency to make incriminating and idiotic statements, I intend to never publish anything online again without complete anonymity. I wouldn't be happy with my blog if it contained the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, and I want nothing to do with blogging ever again.  Are you satisfied with how the writing is going for your project? How about your story posts? Considering that my writing cannot even be considered competent, I am not happy with any of the stories. However, I do seem to be improving, so that's something to be happy about I guess. What do you consider to be your biggest accomplishment(s) in your writing for this class?  Restraining myself f...
