Most likely, I will. Blogging actually semi-ensures that something I write and publish has the potential to be read somewhere. I have a livejournal.com that I used to be fairly routine with, but eventually lost speed with. But I want to keep writing, because it certainly keeps me sharp and in tune with my style.
So, there were some ups and downs with the class. The best part would have to be gaining an insider's look on journalism as a business. It is a money making industry, and we should be aware of that. Knowing how certain things operate and why were incredibly helpful and interesting.
On the other hand, I didn't choose the class to know the business ends of journalism. I wanted to learn about newspaper design. Even webzine, magazine, any zine design would have been cool to learn about.
One improvement I would suggest is to have a particular aim with the course. It seems it jumps around too many topics to understand. I wasn't sure if this was mostly blogging - which could be done, essentially, as an online course - or business. If it were clearly defined when selecting the class, I think preparation and attitude towards the coursework would be different. Atleast then students would know what they were getting in.
