Katharina's writing blog - what I learned today

Hi,
I will use this entry to do a bit of reflection on today's class. I have learned two important things:
1. is about blogging. It definitely is not the same as talking to a person face to face. Even smileys do not substitute non-verbal signs, particularily when you use the wrong ones. As I mentioned, I am not experience with this tool! I learned that I have to be more careful with my comments. It was a very important for me to learn that!
2. The outline really caused me problems! As I am perfectionist I always expect me to have things ready and perfect right away As I was pretty happy with my proposal and thought it answers my question, is pretty consistent, I was really surprised that the outline caused me so much trouble! Now I see the main purpose of our course in the process itself, not so much the result, although it is also important
Further to that the feedback from my colleagues was interesting: on one hand that the topic could be too narrow and on the other hand that I have to review two many sources. Gives me something to think about until next week!

Hey,
I think we both had some problems with only communicating trough the blog and I sincerely hope that we will be able to exchange opinions in a better way in the future
Your paper proposal seemed pretty perfect to me when I read trough it, I can't imagine you having any problems with your outline. But realising that the process is in part the aim itself was an enlightment for me too, hope we have some more of them
Wishing you the best with your outline,
Doris

Thanks for the compliment! What you don't see on the probosal though is that it took me way too long to write it - this was already pretty enlightening (I like that word, thank you ) because it showed me the strengths and weaknesses of the paper! As parts were really easy going - I wrote them, re-wrote them, but I basically had an idea where I was going. But the final part caused tremendous trouble, therefore I have to go over it again. And to realize that this exchange was very helpful. THANK YOU
