Although I am glad to see this class come to an end just because it definitely took a lot of time and energy I did learn a lot in the process. I learned that relying on the help from a team can sometimes not go according to plan. I definitely thought that I was going to contribute more with my group but kind of ended up not doing so. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we don't physically meet in a classroom and the time that I would have allotted for a classroom meet up would have been beneficial because when I'm not in class typically I'm doing work related things in a lot of times cannot find a moment to spare for a group meet up. This allowed me to fall behind and not contribute as much as I would've liked within my group. The class overall was very different than any other class I have experienced before it was very informative and challenged us by keeping up with relative news and also learning more about the global health community. Overall I really enjoyed the Twitter and Instagram aspect of the class and kind of getting to know everyone else's standpoint on certain nonprofit organizations and strategies for marketing campaigns. But if I had to change anything about the class it would be maybe instead of a group project to have everyone do their own strategy just because this way no one is left out and feeling like maybe they could've done a little more to contribute. If I were to recommend this class to any individual I would say that it's very tech heavy as in keeping up with your Instagram posts your Twitter posts and also your discussion posts and making sure you definitely give your group mates the time that they need and the information that they need in order to put together the final project. And also just to make sure that you're doing everything you can and not falling behind with your posts pretty much just really staying on top of everything that is going on in the class.
