blog 13 The course met my expectations. I liked that music and lyrics were included in the course. It is something that everyone can relate to. The things I didn't not like about the course was the pressure behind presenting and the some what forced group discussions. I felt like the support was there when needed in this course, when I did not understand something, the help was there. I believe I have met the goals that I set for myself before entering this course. It has been a very long time since I have been in school. I never in the past put in any effort, and I feel a lot more confident now in my abilities to learn in a classroom.

I agree with your blog. I liked the music assignment also, interesting to break down a song to find out the true meaning, if we don't understand it at first. I also don't like presenting, I thought it was nice Jody gave the opinion to do a one on one presentation instead of having to present to the class. Group work is also another thing I don't like and also don't think we should get marked on it. Schools want their students doing group work, Jody has to give us group work the school board wants us to do it, I think she did a good job at teaching and giving fair alternatives

This course met my expectations as well, and I do also have to agree that doing an assignment on a song focusing on the lyrics is something that people can relate to. I do not like to present or do group discussions either, it is not my strong suit.
