The collaboration and conversation facilitated by the use of blogs and videos were really interesting to utilize in this class.
Too often in other courses the tangible essays or tests that we take are often thrown away or shoved under some shelves after the class is over. The use of blogs and videos on the internet allows the materials that we create to be easily accessible for us to look back to in the future. I think that this is much more useful to know that we could be passing on our knowledge and learning for other people in the future.
Furthermore, what was really great about the blogs and comments is the conversation with our classmates. It is not often that we get to listen to everyone's opinions and discoveries. The blogs and comments allow us to gather information from our peers and also express how we feel. In discussion it is often that people who are more aggressive gets to talk more but the blogs and comments allow an even level playing field.
The YouTube component was great in that I had to understand the material a lot more in order to speak concisely. I like that exercise taught me to be firm about my opinions so that I could express it out loud. One thing I didn't like as much was watching the YouTube videos of other people's. I thought that it was redundant from the blog materials and took a lot of time.
Overall though, I thought this was a very innovative way to share thoughts and learn!

The Value of 190G
This semester, I have thoroughly enjoyed this patent engineering class. As a business major, it was refreshing to be exposed to the different layers of the patent topic. My learning ranged from the different components that make something patentable to recent relevant patent wars to the practical application the ability to read patents.
Understanding the different components that allows a patent to be valid has enabled me to identify when my ideas can be a claimed intellectual property. The major components of obviousness, prior art, novel, and inventive step was carefully fleshed out in the class. This detailed understanding will really help me ensure that my invention and creation brings something new to the table.
Reading articles on the different patent wars that are taking place helped me understand the purpose of patents and the troubles within that governing group. I was able to recognize patent trolls and why they take place in the competitive market. The class really pushed me to have an opinion about certain cases I was wrote my narrative in the blog posts.
Through the guest speakers, I really valued the class because it made me understand how to apply patent knowledge in the real world. Learning the different occupations that involve understanding patents opened was important to me. The diversity of opportunities that understanding patents bring is truly unique.
Walking away from this class, I am more confident about how patent works and its affects on all industries. I'm excited to learn more as I now know the resources to do my research and have built a solid foundation of knowledge about it!
