Process Online Magazine Reflection
When the idea of having to do an online magazine with others at first I was not excited. For one I have never done an online magazine, and I feared whoever I would be peered with would be a slacker. My thought was that we would have to create an entire magazine from cover to barcode on our. The project at first was something I dreaded because I felt it was difficult to understand and collaborate with our class members on top of our portfolio. As the assignment was broken down I was really felt it was a lot easier and could be knocked out with no problem. Creating the magazine as a class as oppose to collaborating with all classes was a lot more doable. It was easier to throw out ideas within the class and come to an agreement, rather than trying post to wikispaces, send emails, and rely on others to put in some work.
In order to make the magazine doable for all classes it would have had to be a much better set for who was in what specific category, and an assignment to what each individual would do. Within my class I would say my class members came to a great agreement, especially being we have a much smaller class. No one in particular stood out as a leader but, we all did come to a census that we would stick to doing our on desired format for the magazine rather than put it all together as a class. I felt the time period was reason, but with the various changes and addition and subtraction of individuals in a group we could have had another day to turn it in. On the other hand the assignment was pretty simple.
I feel as if the 5% the magazine is worth could be higher. This assignment to be could be one that stands alone and could improve our grade. Like myself I missed a discussion question and with the magazine at a higher percentage I feel I could have it to over shadow that grade, same as with the wiki postings. As a class I feel we will do okay as a class if we all turn it in okay. With my contribution to my group magazine I felt I put forth much of the contributions, especially since my partner only did his article, and I made the cover and put it all together.
