So far what I have enjoyed about English the most is the class discussions we have as an entire class. I find these helpful for learning as well as enjoyable to hear other students’ thoughts on a topic. Another thing I’ve really liked so far has been the articles we’ve read for class. I think these articles have been very interesting and have been fun to talk about with the class. One thing I’ve really thought has helped has been reading the Squeeze the Sponge text and using the insight learned from that to help apply better work to my papers. I like how the chapters assigned to us relate to our papers and help us with ideas for them. I think that the draft days for helping us brainstorm ideas has helped me with my papers as well as the peer review days. These help me get new ideas and catch mistakes that I may have missed before. I like how you use videos in class to help better explain things and not to mention the awesome videos from great tv series like The Office. I think it is a very interactive class which helps us as students stay focused and learn more about other people’s thoughts. This is by far my most active class I have, and I really think that this helps me stay on track while also having fun.
The main thing I don’t like so far are the home groups. I think it would just be easier to stay where we sit and talk to those around us. Although I don’t mind my home group and have no problems with anyone in it, I still would rather just stay in my normal seat and not have to move all my stuff everyday. If I’m being honest that would be my only minor complaint so far. I have actually enjoyed this class and kinda look forward to it in a way. You should be proud because this is the only one I have felt that way about. Overall I have found ENG 100 to be a great experience and look forward to future classes.
