Dear Professor Mangini, 
Throughout the course of this semester I have made incredible leaps and bounds that have drastically improved the way I use and view the world of technology. Through this class I've learned how significant blogging is within today's society, and how blogs can be used personally, academically, and professionally. I've seen first hand how important it is to form a strong connection with the audience during oral presentations, something one can do easily through the use of a comprehensive design plan. By working with my peers I've learned the importance of collaboration, something that will forever be a part of my life, especially once I have my first job. I've learned about the different ways to collect data, as well as the different ways to present it. I can now even say that I am able to view social media sites differently, by taking a more philosophical and sociological approach to what people say within theses mediums. Above all else I've learned that technology is not something to fear, but rather, something to embrace and accept. Technology has become an essential part of our lives, and as time progresses, we will only have more uses for it. To me, the knowledge I have learned in this course outweighs the grades I have received. If I had to put a letter grade on my performance, I would give myself an A. This is not because I think I deserve an A based on the projects I have done, or the blogs I have written. It is simply based on the abundance of knowledge I have retained, and how far I have come from the beginning of the semester. I started out as unconfident and unintelligible  Now I leave this course feeling unstoppable, and I couldn't be more grateful.
