This is it. The end of the line of this semester is here.
I've got to say, this has been an up and down semester at best with me having to do things I never expected to do in multiple classes, including this one. Not many classes have I had where I'm told to reflect on the semester that was for all to see, but since I'm not one to mince words no matter the situation, here is my honest reflection of this class this semester.
Back at the beginning of the semester I had said that my expectations of this class were to broaden my knowledge in the world of art. And to be honest, I don't really feel like my overall knowledge of the art world, while increased, is much broader than it was before. I watched the videos and did the readings, but with the excessive workload of this class I was never able to fully enjoy what I was learning. It was constantly, do an assignment and move on to the next one. There was no time to really digest what I was "learning".
My definition of art still hasn't changed. It's still the world around us in many different mediums. I didn't list a favorite artist in my original posting because I didn't have one. And again, due to the overload of coursework, I couldn't find time to enjoy specific artists so my answer remains unchanged.
I've taken 10+ online courses in my time in college, each one being different from the other. I love online courses, and still do. But this class really put a sour note on my experience. Again, the workload was way to much to enjoy anything I was learning which I view as a major aspect of schooling. I want to enjoy what I'm learning, not feel like it's all being crammed down my throat which is exactly how I felt in this class. I'm very disappointed with my experience with this class, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
