Week 8: Comments and Feedback

The feedback I receive from other students is beneficial when drafting new stories because it gives me insight on some things I could try that I wouldn't have thought of myself. Overall, I'm pleased with the comments and feedback I receive from other students. It helps me as a writer to see the story from other people's perspectives, which is really nice. When leaving feedback for other students, I try not to hold back, because I think a comment or feedback that criticizes the story is actually more beneficial than a comment that just says "good job." Not saying that I try to rip other student's stories apart when I give feedback, but I try to look for things that could use some tweaking and point it out to students. I enjoy that people leave comments on my blog, especially my introduction post, and I enjoy being able to learn about other students from their introduction too. However, being an online class, you can only learn so much from your peers, so I'd say I still don't know the other students very well, and that's OK. I feel like people wouldn't be as creative or daring with their stories if it were an in-person class because they would feel more judged. Going forward, I look to continue learning from my peers and getting a different perspective from them in their feedback, and I plan to continue giving good feedback to help others with their story.
I think this is an important message because we don't develop new ideas or different perspectives unless we're given feedback in some way or another. Link

Introduction to a Future Physical Therapist

Howdy y’all, my name is Ethan Rafferty, a 3 rd  year student at the University of Oklahoma. I’ve been a sooner fan since I was born, because my Dad attended the university, so I was raised around the culture. One could say that I was brainwashed to go here, but I truly do love the school, from the academics, to the campus, to the sports. I am 21 years old, and I am from Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb just north of Dallas. There, I was raised by my mother and father with my two sisters. I am the middle child, and also the only boy, so it was quite the experience growing up with my siblings.              My major is Health Exercise Science. I did not initially come to OU with that as my plan, but after my first semester, I realized that natural sciences and exercise physiology interested me way more than any business degree. I believe the best part about my major is that it can allow me to help others once I graduate, including rehabbing those who suffered an injury or improving someon

Week 11 Story: The Chicken, Cow, and Spider

Image
Once there was a farm that had lots of animals. On this farm lived a chicken, cow and spider. They were all great friends and looked out for one another. Cow lived in a field, next to the chicken coop, where Chicken lived, and in the corner of that coop lived Spider, in his finely spun web. They loved it on the farm, until one day, Spider overheard the farmer talking about getting ready to slaughter Cow so he could sell beef to the market. Immediately, Spider told Chicken, who told Cow. They had to come up with a plan soon. The night before the farmer planned on butchering Cow, Spider came up with a plan to help his friend. He ventured out to the field where Cow lived, and told Cow to lay down and pretend to be dead. Then, he spun a web all around Cow, so that it looked like Cow had been dead for quite some time. When the farmer came out the next morning, he saw Cow, and said, “Oh no, Cow has died! I can’t butcher him now, his meat has spoiled and will no longer be good to eat. I’ll
