Extra Credit: Questions about the Course

1. Which assignment did you ENJOY working on the best? Why?
I personally found the Art exhibition project the most enjoyable. Once I found a theme that I could go with, I enjoyed finding pieces of art that went with the theme, and putting it all together to create this "around the world" type of mindset. Taking my viewers on a visual journey to some of the wonders of the world and top known landmarks was enjoyable to me.

2. Which assignment did you ENJOY working on the least? Why?

I had a tough time with the mask assignment. Creating the mask alone was incredibly time consuming and was incredibly difficult to create. By the time I had completed the mask, I had little time left to actually decorate the mask the way I truly wanted to, and was forced to settle with the final product I submitted. 

 

3. How did you like using BLACKBOARD?

I am very firmiliar with the BLACKBOARD program, since I have taken several 100% online courses in the past few years. I found that the format and locations for the course material was easy to locate, and easy to follow

 

4. What is your opinion of the Discussion Groups in this course?

I thought the discussion forum was good in the sense that I got to see what other students thought about the other projects. I do not feel, however, that it was good for actual conversations. Often times people would post the inital discussion, but then never respond to other peoples posts. This didnt do well to create the "classroom discussion" atmosphere that I know you had strived for.

 

5. Did you participate in any of the extra credit projects in previous modules? If so, what was your opinion of them? (mandala, elgin marbles, culture, art critics)

N/A

6. If you had the opportunity to change this course:

What would you keep?

I would keep the Art Curation project (final project) for sure! It made me incorporate a lot of what we had learned this semester into the project.

 

What would you remove?

I would remove the mask assignment. creating a 3D mask required a lot of materials, time, and effort that I found challenging to overcome within only 1 week.

What would you add?

 

7. Would you recommend this course to your peers?

I would, and already have to several students who were looking to find elective classes for next semester.
8. Please list any other comments you would like to share.
Overall, great course! I learned a great deal within this semester from this class!
