How is this class different from other English classes you've had?
This class is very different from any other class that I have ever taken because it is completely on computer. I’m not sure if I am mature enough to handle this class but we will see. The classes in the past that I have taken have been regular classes that use books and notebooks, but that is not the case for this class. I am a faster writer then typer so I am usually quicker at doing things in classes that use normal books and notebooks. I think that being in this class I will learn how to be a quicker typer so it will help me later on in life, and I will learn more things about the computer then I ever knew. I’m excited to spend the rest of this semester doing homework on the computer instead of any other boring classes.

How do you feel about being in a Cyber comp class?
I feel this class is really going to stretch my patients. This is a challenging class because there is a lot of freedom and it is sometimes quiet hard for me to focus in a more relaxed environment. I think I will be able to pass this class with flying colors. Being able to do everything on the computer is awesome, if feel that working on the computer everyday will make me a better and more efficient typer. I think working with paper gets boring, so I like to change it up. I really enjoy my teacher, but she's not only a teacher she is a friend. She helps me with all of my questions that I might have.

Do you feel more confident about any of your skills in computers or writing? Explain
It is kind of difficult for me to feel confident about this class because I am not use to this class. A class on the net is very tough for me because I am a slow typer. Besides the typing part I like this class and Ian very confident that with a little help I can learn many things in this class. My good man Nick D. always has the heart to help me so does Niki they are great friends of my and they give me confidence to get through this class.

What has been most challenging or frustrating for you and how have you met the challenge or overcome the frustration?
The most frustrating thing that I have done in this class is typing. That will huge accomplishment for me. I find it very tough for myself to keep up in class. The distractions in the class room are very hard for me to overcome. All of my friends that used to help and encourage are now just b*****ds about helping me out all my encouragement is gone. Niki no longer types for me so I get really far behind but I will find away through the struggle.

What's your favorite thing about your web page and why?
The most favorite thing about my web page is that I feel that I can express myself and tell people how I really feel. The most favorite thing about my web page is this part because I am a social person and I like to express myself. I have never made a web page and its not that hard. I think this is really helping me grow and become a smarter person. it is very weird having someone else read your information that you put up but I am slowly starting to enjoy the capabilities that the computer can bring you.

I have increased my skills in typing and in many different research skills. I wasn't very happy about making a web page because i thought it was going to be tough my teacher helped me a lot. Having a web page made me really think about other people reading what I had written.
If I could go back on this year I wouldn't change a thing. I had a great year. School went very fast this year. I will miss my teachers and friends but I will see them next fall.
