I think that project 5 was a good idea because it is a very useful to have a resume online.  It makes it so one doesn't have to always have a hard copy of one's resume on hand, but you always have access to it because the internet is everywhere.  In addition, this project forces you to get rid of all the things in your resume that is no longer relevant to your career.  It is important to start building your resume throughout college because it is easier to go year by year than look back and try to remember everything. The only concern I have about this project is that some of the websites are "free" but then ask you to pay for using their website.  This worried me when I was doing all this work because I kept thinking that in the end I wouldn't be able to pull the website up.
There are so many things about genres that I did not know when I entered this class.  For instance, I knew that your audience was important when creating something; however, when your doing a project it doesnt always have to be for the entire population but towards a selective audience.  In addition, one has to keep in mind the previous knowledge your audience has to make sure they understand everything.  This was important to keep in mind during project 2,3 and 4.   For project 3 it was all about showing and not telling.  I have always struggled with this in the past; however, the more I am assigned this projects the better I get at them.  I believe it also helped to have read some in class to give us a rough idea on  how to do this.  Lastly, I think that project 4 was the hardest project in theory, but once you got started it came very easily.  It took me forever to come up with a way to tell a story without words, because words are a part of your everyday life.   Overall, this class teaches you a ton about different genres. 

I will deffinitly use what I learned in this class throughout college/life.  I learned that writing style is not always clear cut and cannot be used with every genre.  I was always taught certain conventions were always right and this is not the case.  You wouldn't use a formal tone in a creative non fiction piece.  In addition, that is more to English than just the typical 5 paragraph essays that high school teacher make you write.  From now on I will never write a 5 paragraph essay (unless my teacher asks for it) because I feel like it brings me bac to five grade writing.  Furthermore, I will always keep my audience in mind when I am writing because if you whole goal is to get published, or even so someone actually reads your paper than you have to make a connection with them.  I think that this class has taught me a lot of valuable information that has improved my wirting skills.
