Summary

Well I'm going to put it out there... I am not, nor will I ever be one of them computer type people. My computer skills go as far as typing essays and searching the internet.

This course has opened me up to a new world of terms and definitions that I will never fully understand and will probably immediately forget. A course that was not for me. Some tasks were fun, some boring and others irrelevant.

I found tutorials enjoyable but sometimes felt that they were unorganised due to the swapping of tutors and the tutesparks and lecture notes being posted up late. I enjoyed the tute discussions and listening to what people had to say on certain topics, for example who has control over what you put up on FaceyB.

One major problem I had with the course was the culture jamming task. Although I said I would do it, the most I actually did was post the news article on my blog. Although it is fun to make up a completely false story, I find it ethically wrong and somewhat illegal to fabricate a story which could potentially ruin a future career, that being mine or the person we wrote about.

I sometimes got a little bit confused as to what we actually needed to post on our blog and what outside things we could have posted to make it more interesting. Also some of the tasks were a bit vague and I wasn't sure with some questions whether it was my opinion or whether I had to research things. I think it needed to have a bit more structure and the tasks that we had to do for it could have been a bit more enjoyable. However, the blog is a great idea. I really enjoyed keeping a blog and will probably keep one in the future.

As a hole, I think the course needed to be a bit more organised and have a better structure. I think with a little bit more structure and organisation will help improve the course.
