Weekly blog
This was a very difficult week for me. In all my time in this class, I think the AIE format was a hard concept to grasp. It made sense when described to me, but actually writing in the format myself was very challenging. But on top of that, we learned about tragedy. The three wiki pages that we were given to read up on the topic of tragedy was a little confusing to me, because the idea of tragedy that I had in my head was a little different from the wiki pages. They talked about the art of tragedy and how they were written into plays a long time ago. I looked more into tragedy of the commons, and in my mind I thought of national tragedies such as terrorism, but the wiki page described it more along the lines of a shared resource being drained. We were then asked to write a blog on the matters, which I thought was the most difficult part of the week. I sat at home for a good 45 minutes trying to write the blog, and I didn't really know what to base it on, even though we had to examples to look at. Not only did I have to relearn the meaning of tragedy, I had to write about it and on top of that put it into an AIE format. The end result was a very poor blog post but none the less I finished. I'm not trying to say I didn't learn anything this week because that wouldn't be true, but I don't necessarily agree or understand what I learned this week, at least for the tragedy part. The AIE format is more clear than it was, but I'm still probably going to do it wrong in the end. When I say I don't agree with the tragedy portion of the week, I just think it's strange the way the wiki pages showed it. The idea of tragedy that I have set up in my head was very different, and I had to look up some different pages that went more into depth on those ideas, just like this page. http://tragedy.sdsu.edu/tragedy.sdsu.edu/. I took tragedy of the commons to mean more along the lines of death and destruction, as opposed to a shared resource or an environmental issue, but this page really helped me understand that.
