Hi, my name is Annie Connors and I am from Medina, Ohio. I am a junior at Ohio University, and I am studying  Health Services Administration. I have an older brother, who also attends Ohio University, and a younger sister who has Down Syndrome. Once I graduate from college, I would like to be able to volunteer more time with the Special Olympics, because I have seen first hand how the Special Olympics has changed the lives of individuals with special needs. I am a member of Tau Beta Sigma, which is a music service sorority and a former member of the Ohio University Marching 110. I enjoy running, music, Irish dancing, volunteering, spending time with my family, and hanging out with my friends.

In ENG 151, I enjoyed that the professor would have a daily video that would pertain to that days discussion. The least rewarding aspect of ENG 151, was that it wasn't anything more than a high school english class. We did not get an opportunity to write about topics that we felt were interesting and instead wrote about topics that the professor thought was interesting. I think that the class would have been more interesting if the professor would have let us pick our own topics for our papers instead of learning about something that a majority of the class did not want to learn about.

For 308J Composting in the Digital Age, I feel that the layout is very straight forward and wont drift too much from the planned class context. This class differs from my previous classes, because I have never been able to blog, write wikipedia pages, or do other things related to new media.

By the end of winter quarter, I hope to gain the knowledge to successfully create, edit, and write a Wikipedia page and become a better researcher and writer. I am worried that I wont find a topic where I can find enough information for my projects and I am also worried that the projects will be too hard to handle with my course load this quarter.
