Honestly I didn't have any readings that I really didn't like because every reading that I read was free. That was possibly the best part about this class! However out of the two epics I think that the Mahabharata was the better reading just because of the different characters and the evil characters in it. I also really liked being able to choose my own readings in between the readings of the two epics and in the ending weeks before the end of the semester. It gave me the freedom to get more information on different characters within the story and the different gods and goddesses within the realm of the stories.
Really I don't think that reading diaries did a whole lot for me because I am really great at retaining the information form things that I read. Overall it was easiest to really just do sort of a bullet point list to take small amounts of notes just to basically show that I had read the reading for that week.
I think overall the balance between everything was really good. The class really challenged me in terms of writing and commenting and the reading could sometimes be a struggle get through because there was so much of it to read. I feel like maybe the reading could have been stretched out a little more over a few more days so that way it wouldn't be so hard to force yourself to read it.
Like those that came before me in this class, my best advice I can give is to work ahead. Really try and do everything to stay ahead so that way, in case they do fall behind, they aren't really behind. Umm doing the extra credit can really help too. I remember sitting down one day and just cranking out a bunch of tech tips to pad my grade because it gave me some extra wiggle room. So WORK AHEAD!!!!
