Assignment #6 โ€“ The Mid-Semester Assessment Post

As we make our way through the semester, it’s important to reflect on the work we’ve done and what we’ve learned so far.

CT101 has been my favorite class this semester, as it’s the one that creatively challenges me the most. Learning new skills and aspects of design has made assignments more fun and engaging. As far as assignments go, I’d say I’m doing pretty good at following what exactly the assignment is asking while also making each post my own. Whether that’s with the memes I use or the content I make.

What I seem to have learned and retain the most is knowing how to make these blog posts. Embedding memes, images, videos and hyperlinks. I’ve become super comfortable with it, along with learning how to tell a story with my posts. Using memes to express emotions or depict an image of what I’m trying to say. As well as conveying a beginning, middle, and end on my posts. Explaining the overall context of the assignment in the beginning, the actual content and explaining the process of what I made, and concluding towards the end.

These are things that I’ve displayed regularly in my weekly posts. Before taking this class, I really didn’t even know how and where to create a blog post or any resources for memes or photos like Giphy.

Assignments 1 and 2 were really where I was starting to get comfortable using it and embedding things into my posts. Assignment 3 was where we were able to create our own memes, so I learned how to do that using Make a Meme, which was really fun. Assignment 4 taught me how to make my own gif on Giphy. My post provided a step-by-step on how I did that. And finally, assignment 5 was by far the most intimidating. Out of all of them it gave the most creative space to make whatever we wanted, in my opinion. Because it was such a big page and had so many different tools, it seemed like there was a lot to explore. But it also starts off as a blank canvas and you don’t exactly know where to start. Nonetheless, it was fun to create.

Upon reflection, I do find that I can be expanding more creatively with each assignment. I think I can definitely get better work done if I just allowed myself to think more freely and be more willing to experiment.

As far as my grade in the class, I think I’m doing pretty well because I haven’t missed any assignments and I do comment on my classmates posts, as well as responding to comments on my own posts. However, I do think I need to participate way more in class. Ask questions and communicate more with the Professor and my peers. I’d say I’m at about an B+ or atleast I hope.
