Critiquing My Classmates
It’s highly important that we encourage our fellow classmates and give them credit for the work they’ve done, especially for these blogs. Every person tries to make their blog as substantial and well done as they can, and everyone spends a good amount of time researching and writing every blog post. The completed project will be a blog full of a variety of interesting posts created by the student. So far, I’ve noticed that all my classmates have been putting a lot of effort into their blogs. I have a feeling they will be proud of their work once this class is over.
One blog that I think is particularly well-done is Shriya’s. She always chooses good topics to do for her posts. One of my favorite posts that she did was for Lifestyle or Pop Culture. Shriya talked in depth about Momos (South Asian dumplings). She chose to write about this because Momos are her favorite food from back home in Nepal. Shriya gave a slew of information regarding what Momos are, how they are made, and all the varieties that are available. I had never heard of Momos before her blog post, and now I kind of really want to try some.
Every post that Shriya has done this semester has been very detailed. She breaks up her critic into several sections which I think is helpful when you are reading her review in the blog post. Her critics are at the end of her blog posts at a separate section where they can be easily found. Shriya also includes a variety of videos and pictures that help show you exactly what she is writing about. Overall, I feel that Shriya has done a great job so far with her Mass Media Criticism blog.
Another blog that I really liked this semester was that one that Justice has been working on. Justice’s topics for his posts are very interesting and often revolves around stuff I didn’t know about. His writing is so very detailed, and I think that’s what makes his posts engaging. The amount of interactivity that he includes is exceptional. There are lots of links that he includes along with pictures and videos.
When it comes to his reviews, Justice doesn’t hold back on his criticism. If he loves something, he gives it praise. If he thinks something is stupid, he will go into depth about how much he dislikes it. In other words, his criticism is on point. His reviews are quite humorous, and I had a good time reading through all of them for this review on his blog. One of my favorite posts that he did was his Series of Unfortunate Events review because I also watched that show on Netflix, enjoyed it, and then found myself agreeing with pretty much everything he wrote in his post about it. Lastly, I also enjoy his pleas for everyone to watch The Leftovers. I must say he’s very good at promoting that show (even though I still haven’t brought myself to watch it just yet). Anyways, Justice’s blog is impressive, and I think he should be proud of the work he’s done this semester.
