I actually enjoyed responding to my classmate's discussions. I found some of their articles very interesting and informative. The discussions allowed me to see my classmates arguments on certain article topics. The response templates helped to structure the beginning of my responses. Quotation lessons helped me to understand how they are integrated into the text. So now, when I look at my articles for research, my eyes go directly to them.
I'm a little disappointed that the interview I had set up did not work out due to timing discrepancy, however, I have a replacement next week and look forward to the interview.
