Looking back on this past semester, I will admit that it could have been worse. I liked learning about blogs and how they worked. The class had taken on a new and different style, and it was fun to try. It was also very interesting to learn about different topics each week. I learned many new things about a variety of subjects, and I will never regret that. The issues I had with this experience was that I may have learned many interesting facts, but that is all they are to me, simply interesting facts.
Physics is a fascinating subject, and is full of everyday formulas and facts that relate to things we use constantly. Yet, with all the topics I have researched this last semester, I still do not understand how they relate to Physics. The death of a star was interesting to learn the stages, but I have no idea what the quatum qualities about them are, or how they work. We never learned all the basic information necessary to make them more important to us. Many important concepts were not covered, and I regret not being able to learn them. The link between the class I took and the topics covered was missing to me.
The blogging exersize is a good idea as a once a month or weekly exersize, but nothing more. As a teacher once said, physics is the most basic science of them all. I feel like my scientific foundation is smaller than the information above it. I understand the tactic for taking us out of our everyday boring classroom enviroment, and get us more acquainted with technology but I believe this was not the complete way to go.
I am sorry for all the complaints done by me, but I am a very upfront person, and I do not appreciate curve balls. This blogging exersize came out of nowhere to start and lacked the connection to physics and why we looked it up in the first place besides to keep us busy. It is a toss-up on its good sides and bad sides, I would call this a fifty-fifty venture.
