FINAL BLOG POST


This has been one of the most valuable courses I have taken to improve my personal and academic writing and reading habits.  I have learned the ease of staying up to date on the current events around the globe and now truly enjoy using the news sites to continuously search for more information on current events. I have really seen the ways that news stories differ from site to site and over time. The last paper of this course was an eye-opening experience looking at how events can shape political debate and create a national call to action. I am certainly now in the habit of reading the news and looking at specific stories from different points of view. These changes in the way I read and write have given me confidence for future courses at DU. Talking about the news in every class was incredibly useful and engaging and I will continue to look at the news but I will also find other students to engage in conversation about current events and news sources.
