I decided that my last blog of the semester should be somewhat of a reflective essay about this class. Coming into English 110 I didn't care about writing, or even want to be there. Basically the only reason I was even in the class is because English is a requirement in my degree progress. I thought that the class was going to boring, and that I would do horrible in it.
After meeting Stephanie, I realized that the class would be a lot of work but contrary to my belief could be a lot of fun. As the weeks progressed I got more and more into my writing, and I learned quite a few things that I hadn't ever cared about before. I now looking at writing as a talent and priviledge, and not as a punishment. English 110 was actually one of my favorite classes this semester, aside from my Film Class. Although I didn't enjoy all of the writing assignments, I felt they had some significance on me. They all brought me out of my shell, and helped me learn that I could write things out of my own orthodox world.
I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet Stephanie, and to experience this class. I think that Stephanie is an excellent teacher. After having English 110, I did everything in my power to get in Stephanie's 111 class. I'm really looking forward to next semester. I believe that my writing is going to improve significantly over the next two years here at ICC.

I feel similar about the class as well. I really enjoyed the class although writing is still a challenge for and I am glad it was the only english I have to take for my degree.
ReplyDeleteStephanie did keep us busy, but I think in the end it was worth it. For the amount of work she assigned, she was very fair and lenient at the same time. Coming into this class, I was the same way as you were in which I really didn't care about writing and was only taking the class because it was required. But after going through the semester, or at least most of it, I really think I will take a lot from this class.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compliment, Chad. Get ready for ENG111!
