Farewell to MGT3120

Farewell Management3120
I've had a blast
listening to Professor Kurpis
lecture of Management's past.

The numerous theories
of Porter and Potter
of Likert and House
of Fiedler and Kotter...
What were these theories again?

I'll never forget
the cool things we've done
the group activities
and the bonus points won.

Most memorable will be
that inspiring dvd:
which taught us all
to toss starfish into the sea.

Goodbye center right section
and the rest of you all
I truly enjoyed each moment
See you guys next fall?
:)

I approve of Blogging.

Besides taking pressure away from test grades, blogging is a great way to share ideas outside of class.  In a classroom that large, some of us don't get too many opportunities to share our ideas (esp. when we have to compete with the Dominant-type people) 

I don't raise my hand very often unless I have a question, but even when I do, I tend to ask neighboring students for help.  During class discussions, when there is something i strongly disagree with, instead of voicing my opinions, I rant/share my ideas with those around me. Because of blogging, I can share my ideas without having private conversations during class. 

I really enjoyed the blog assignments because unlike most homework assignments, there is no right answer. Through blogging, we can almost write anything we want and it'll never be wrong. (Unless you're blogging about something completely off topic, but that's your problem.)

This is the only class that I've had (other than Freshman Orientation, but does that even count?) where blogging is considered homework and I am glad for this because it is a stress-less activity and can even be fun sometimes.  

I have a blog other than this one and have used it since freshman or sophomore year of high school.  However, I stopped sometime around freshman year of College because the few friends I shared it with stopped visiting and as a result, I stopped blogging.  Maybe I'll resume and instead of viewing it as a place to rant, I'll treat it like a not-so-personalized Diary/Journal.  A high school substitute teacher once told me that she kept a Diary when she was younger and with every page she read, she recalled clear images and  minute details of each log recorded.

For these reasons, Blogging should definitely remain the only 'homework' assignments for MGT3120.  :-)
