Outcomes Reflection

In the first week I learned that writing is a matter of knowledge, dedication, commitment and ... being myself.

For my surprise, I found the autcomes very inspiring, the videos very instructive and, together with the texts, the videos give clear directions about writing.

Setting up the Weebly pages was a bit confusing in the beginning, but with some study it came to life. The course outcomes are inspiring and goal oriented. 

They teach me that academic writing is possible when we follow certain instructions and put the heart and head to work. So, this is different from other writing courses I've been taking recently.

I thought it would be "just another course". How wrong was I.  I can see, in only one week, that there is something very positive and creative about this course.
