reflective assessment
My reflection of this class is that it unfortunately fell on my priority list because of my more labor intensive audio classes. The class discussions were a blast, as per the norm in an Arntson class. I really enjoy getting into those debates over random issues that take place so frequently in this class. As I'm sure was evident, I enjoy voicing my opinion, and at most times am receptive to the opinions of others.

As for the quarter long assignment, I enjoyed the diversity of my groups individual topics within the grand topic. My personal research had me watching a movie called "Bigger, Stronger, Faster..." which is a documentary of steroid use, and users. This got me thinking about the generalizations that are made about steroid users and the usage of said drug.

I also found myself recollecting what I had read in Jose Canseco's book, "Juiced" about his own personal steroid use, as well as the use of others around him within the realm of Major League Baseball.

Unfortunately, with our group suffering from "TMI" I chose to keep information about both out of our page. I instead chose to focus on what people see when they see steroids... The risks. I felt like by giving information on the subject in that manner, I could remain more objective, while still expressing a viewpoint.

My later efforts were put forth towards editing the paper, which I focused mainly on spelling. This was not very time consuming, as I have Firefox, and it shows me where spelling mistakes are... So therefore it was quick process.

If I had it all to do over again...

Tough statement to explore. Sentence fragment is a sentence fragment.

I guess I would reach out to the other groups earlier in the quarter. I found that the division of the class that the groups created prevented me from knowing a great deal of people. Over the course of the last few days when we broke free of our current groups I found that I greatly enjoyed the company of some of the "others". I only wish that some of those relationships could have been more open earlier.

Thank you for reading my reflections on your class. I hope that I have you for another class in the future, as I have always enjoyed them.
