When I decided to enroll in the hybrid class, I really didn't know anything about the difference between a hybrid and a regular class. Last quarter I had taken a class that met once at the beggining of the quarter, and once in the middle of the quarter for a midterm, and the rest of it was done online. I had originally thought that this class might be like that, but I think its actually better that we meet every week. This class is nice because we have enough in class time to discuss important issues, but not too much in class time which leads to us having to do assignments in class that could just as easily be done at a more convenient time. I liked that we did not have to do the in class essay in class as well, because it relieved a lot of the pressure that is usually associated with an essay "test".
One thing that troubles me about the class is that it is harder to stay connected with what is going on for this class. During the week, I sometimes forget that I'm even in this class, and have to catch up on the work. Sometimes I feel like I don't really know what I should be doing for the class, but I continue with my research and working on the drafts and other various assignments that we are given to do. I am not a very big fan of doing group work, but my opinion of group work has been biased from past years of doing group work. The group work in this class isn't as painful as some other group projects I've done, because what we do in this class are usually short assignments.
Another thing that I am not very fond of is the writing studio, but so far it seems like we haven't been putting very much emphasis on using it. I do like using blogger, it seems straight forward and easy enough. The blog topics that we are given are easy to write about, and also pretty interesting. Overall, I would have to say that I like the way this class is run.

Before I knew we could write our in class essay at home, I too felt the same pressures of a test. I completely agree that writing at home makes it so much less stressful!
