Final blog post

 Slide one: 

“Throughout this course, one of the things I learned was how valuable shorter assignments can be. Instead of long papers, I had to focus on being specific but short, and It helped me learn by not having a huge workload of assignments.

The online format also made the process more interesting and entertaining. I had the chance to experiment with visual elements, formatting tools, and different styles of presenting information, which made each assignment feel more interactive and creative.

Overall, this experience taught me a lot about professionalism in writing. I learned how to structure my ideas in a clean, organized way and how to present my work . 

Slide 2:

One of the most impactful parts of this course was the EOTO assignments. Switching roles and letting us teach the class changed my way of learning by teaching others. Instead of just listening, we were responsible for sharing the material, which made the learning feel more active and collaborative.

Doing the research for these topics also made the information so much more engaging. Rather than reading a textbook chapter and trying to memorize facts, we had to read and learn about what we were gong to present, and decide how to explain it in a clear and interesting way. The involvement made the content more memorable and meaningful.

And finally, presenting our work helped us grow more comfortable speaking in front of others. Every presentation was a chance to practice our communication skills and learn how to share information confidently with an audience. 

Slide 3:

I appreciate how using AI in this class made us much more comfortable and familiar with new technology. Instead of treating AI as something complicated or intimidating, we had the chance to experiment with different tools and learn how they can support our work. This hands-on practice made AI feel a lot more approachable.

At the same time, using AI pushed us to think about the ethical side of it—like when it’s helpful and efficient to use, and when relying on our own ideas and analysis is more important. It made us more aware of issues like originality, accuracy, and academic honesty.

Another major benefit was the speed and accuracy that AI brought to the research process. It helped us gather sources faster, double-check information, and clarify concepts that might have been confusing. That combination of efficiency and reliability made our research stronger overall
