Aside from the aspect that I need to pass this course to graduate in 3 months, I think the value of blogging is a helpful one especially for COM majors, because it affords one the chance the put his or her thoughts into words (or at least text) in an environment that isn’t highly critical of what is said or how something is said. I hope to become better at releasing some of my inner thoughts and hope to improve my writing skills throughout this semester.
