Evaluation of English 103

This English class was not what I expected my first college english class to be like. I figured we would read a lot of novels and write about them as I had in many other english classes in high school. But this class was exactly the opposite of that. It was really nice to have a younger english teacher; that doesn't happen often for me. I really liked it when we watched Youtube videos and had class discussions. I also enjoyed the multimedia project we just did because it required us to use creativity and it also gave me a chance to make a video which I haven't been able to do since high school. Overall this class was not extremely difficult, I think it introduced us to writing in a format that is expected in college. I did not get much out of the textbook we had probably because I never really read it. I'm glad we never had quizzes on the book but personally without being held accountable for my reading I hardly ever do it. The outside of class work we were assigned was good and I liked that fact that we weren't swarmed with busy work to do.

What we learned in this class coincided at times with what I learned in my other classes at times and that was kind of cool. My communications class was discussing the way that things are said and how words can be spun in our favor which I felt like was part of what we were studying. This class wasn't nearly as hard as I expected it to be. I feel like you did a good job of giving us enough time to get our work done and none of the deadlines were unreasonable. I don't think this class was that kind of class but I miss reading and I wish we would have had a few novels to read but that will probably be in another english class.

Some days when we had class I felt like we didn't really have that much that we had to do in class and it would have been better to just have time to work at home instead of coming to class. But that said you did cancel class sometimes and we did have in-class work days. For the most part this class was relatively painless and taught me a some about persuasion and how people use rhetoric in everyday life. I never really noticed how much rhetoric there was in everyday life and to be honest I wasn't even sure what the word really even meant. So yes I did learn important things from this class and luckily it wasn't too hard. For someone who doesn't even want to be a teacher your pretty good at it. I liked the idea of blog posts and the last one especially helped me with my project so that definitely was a good thing. Sometimes class was a little unorganized and I would say that was the only bad thing I can really say about the class. It was a good class though, thanks for putting up with us:)
