I think that I like my learning speed the most out of anything. I am a very fast learner, so being able to work at my own pace during this class (due to the online format) is very beneficial to me as a student. I also believe that the instruction provided for this class was beneficial. The instructions were simple, yet gave enough detail for the projects and assignments to be completed. The fact that we are all messaging in an online sphere is also very beneficial to the learning in the class as a whole. It is very fun to see what my peers are posting throughout the week and responding to the different posts that are presented on my feed.

I will adjust my essay in the descriptions I give of assignments. In the reflection style of essay, I believe that it is important for me to describe the assignments at length. Focusing on my challenges and successes would be very fun to do and discuss during the essay. I want to highlight my struggles throughout the course and explain how I overcame them. This type of adjustment will help my essay reflect myself more than just the class. I want to focus on what made this course successful and beneficial to me and my education here at Millersville.

In my writing process, I am most proud of my outlining skills. I like laying out everything I plan on doing in my essay, especially highlighting the different points I want to make. This helps me write more from my perspective. If I know what to write about and discuss, then I can go on a deep dive into every little piece and expand on the topics greatly. Laying out my papers with questions I want to/should answer is a great way for me to focus on what I am creating.

How would you recommend developing skills once we are out of the academic environment? I am going to be graduating in the Fall and really want to keep up on my skills I have developed throughout my years of education. Is there a certain activity or site you would recommend to maintain and grow my writing skills? I have tried journaling in the past and it is not my favorite thing, but is it a good way to continue to grow in the writing sphere? I really want to make sure that I have a decent grasp on writing that continues long into my future career. @npfannen

My favorite TV shows are Bob’s Burgers and Futurama. I am not overtly involved in their fandoms, but do see posts about them on twitter and TikTok. I can grasp what would anger fans about different shows just based on my peripheral involvement. I understand the lack of storyline and plot points that would anger fans. This is very interesting to attempt to understand, as I have not personally been angry over the lack of a story development, especially because any shows I watch that have been canceled had developed storylines more or less.

I am a fan of the hulu show, The Great. It got canceled last year after three seasons which was very disappointing to me. It was a really fun show that I thoroughly enjoyed. I enjoy shows about historical things and events, even if they are altered slightly. This show also had amazing costumes (which is quite literally my future career), so I really enjoyed watching it and seeing all the details. It was sad to me that it was canceled, but I am glad that the show at least didn’t go on for too long. Honestly, after one of the main characters died, the show became a little too sad for me. He was a main source of comedy during the show's run, so it was very sad to have his character leave permanently.

What format should we be creating this document as? Like should it be one page showing the details that the intern should follow or a set of pages breaking down responses? I know it has to be designed but I am personally not the best at designing infographics of sorts. I also am wondering about the fake posts. Are we submitting them as if they are for the intern, or as if they were genuinely posted by the company? I am assuming they would be in the same document as the style guide, I am just unsure as to if it would be targeted for the intern to view or if it is just an example of what was being posted. @npfannen
