Melissa Burton - Hello Melissa, I enjoyed reading your "online impression blog". I find it very interesting that you have taken an online class out of the country. I bet it was fun. If you don't mind me asking what school did you take that course from? How was it? Do you mostly take online classes? I would have to agree with you when you say that people get to know one another more in an online courses then in face-to-face interactions. Although, it is safe to say that both have there positives and negatives.
For your "can we be good without god?" posting, I agree with you because I think its a personal opinion if someone wants to believe in God or not. Everybody can do day to day actions and involve God or not, again it's there choice. Now do I believed its makes you mad which ever way you choose, no. Can it make you good, well I thinks that is defined by everyone a little differently. Like you said all religions are different and all believe in different things, so it will never be right to say whats good or wrong because it is looked at differently by each religion. So one thing good for one religion, may not be good for others, so its hard to say.
Melissa Paulo- Could not critique 09/01 and 09/03 postings.
Mesann Huynh- In your online/lecture course posting, I can relate to you because blogging is the first for me as well. I agree, it is definitely easier to express things online than in front of the class. I know for myself I hate giving speeches and/or presentations. Although, I will do them when required but even though I am not horrible at giving them, its just the fear that I have towards them. I believe its common, and a lot of people experience the same thing. Large lecture halls are not the place to have good face-to-face interactions, because there are so many people, it would be impossible to remember or get to know everyone, except those that sit next to you. Like you said, every relationship needs time, that is why it is good to compromise your time according to all of your relationships. Technology is on the rise, I do see it as a good thing its just our responsible to keep up with it and learns its areas.
For your "life without god" posting, I found it interesting to know that you are Buddhism. I am taking REL 101 as an elective and as a class we are learning about different religions and their aspect and beliefs. I am learning about Hinduism right now and inside of that is Buddhism. When you began to talk about your beliefs I knew exactly what you were talking about. I think everyone at some point looses connection with their religion but I think all in time a person can reconnect with their religion. I think people can be good without God, they do not necessarily need a religion to make them good. At the end of the day, its about the strong morals and commonsense that makes an act good.

Monique,
ReplyDeleteI didn't actually take a class out of the country, I was taking classes at University of Phoenix, so I was the only student that was from the U.S. all the other students in my class were from other countries. Most of my program that I took there, there were few students from the U.S. in them at that time. I like the online classes because it makes it easier to juggle my family life(kidos) and school. I take about half my classes at ASU online and the others on the Tempe campus.
