25. What are the most important things you learned in this class?

I would say that the biggest thing that i learned from this class was how to cite sources properly and what to look for when citing them. This is the first class that i actually used a book to refer to once in a while with regards to citations and works cited.

24. What do you think might have been done differently in this class to have helped you better?

I feel that time management was an issue for me with this class. I knew that once i started writing my paper i would pretty much write its self. The hardest part that i found with it was researching and reading my sources. I feel that if you would have required students to write portions or more annotated bibs throughout the semester, it would have made it a little easier to stay on task.

23. Has blogging been helpful for you in this research project? In what way might blogging be better used for future classes?

I feel that blogging is a very good form of providing classroom community, especially in a virtual sense. In English 102, i believe that there was only one day in class that we were really asked for our opinions to try and help each other out with our research topics and proposals. If time does not allow in class, i think that blogging is a different approach to create this. Will i use it in my classroom someday....? Possibly..... depending on the course and topic. I do however feel that blogging is better used if all student need to comment on one central topic instead of everyone just commenting on their own blog. That way you are forced to see each others views instead of seeking them out.

22. Reflection after your final research paper submitted—how did you think you did, are you glad you chose that topic? etc.

I enjoyed my research paper primarily because writing about teaching motivates me to finish and become one. I feel that in order to be good at something in life you need to be passionate about it. Choosing a subject and researching it will not only allow me to be well informed about what not to do in a classroom, but will also aid me in assisting others when they become frustrated in a co-teaching situation. Teachers need to keep in mind that the students education is the top priority. Utilizing resources to provide the quality education is key.

21. Alternative titles for your research paper—the good, the bad, and the ugly (at least have 3, but they can all be good, prefereably)

Co-teaching - get great or get out!
What is Co-teaching and what do teachers think it should be?
New teaching methods of the 21 century
Including student with special needs into regular classrooms has changed the way teaching has been done for year.

20. Your revising plans, what tips helped most

I think that having a well organized outline helped me the most with writing my paper. I found that i had a clear vision as to how my paper was going to flow and i felt that as i read different sources, i would just jot down ideas on the side and then just plugged them into my outline. At times i also found that some of the material i was going to comment on i ended up pulling out because it was not going to contribute to the paper significantly.

19. Places visited online to help address grammar issues

I have honestly not even attempted to visit any online websites besides the ones that we were asked to go to in class. I am sure that as i pursue my masters i will write more and will keep it in mind to use them though.
