Literature, oh literature. The dreadfulness of essay after
essay, notes, poems, poetry, it's all simply not my cup of tea. But somehow I
managed to enjoy English 1102. It was a challenge to complete all assignments
on time and some seemed pointless but ended up giving insight to the next
class. Nevertheless, I loved the engaging conversations in the classroom and
the ability to speak openly about very opinionated topics. We were able to do
this since order of the class was always kept in line.
I struggle to understand all of the grading. The class
participation points seem to be hard to obtain as several in the class are VERY
outspoken and have something to say about every topic. The opinions of others
sometimes kept me quiet. I wish more opportunities to gain points were given
such as reading the plays out loud or other options. I also wish more feedback was
given on rough drafts in order to give the writer a better sense of a direction
to go in so that more points would be gained on final draft essays. But the
feedback we did receive was better than none and more than most professors
would give.
I enjoyed the blog. This kind of gave students a way to
express another side of them. It even gave lead way into the emotions and
creativity of students as it provided a less structured assignment, placing the
reins of the ideas in the students’ hands.
All in all, English 1102 was a fantastic class. The class
combined conversation with the required aspects of the course. Mrs. Lindberg is
an incredible, understanding professor who is dedicated to her students. Thanks
for a great class! Wish you were teaching one more English class to help reach
graduation! :)
