English 1102......


This semester has been another great experience for me. English has always been my low point. I hate writing papers but I’m somewhat decent at it. I’ve learned more about writing these past two college classes then I ever did in high school. Now that I know how to write, I enjoy it little more than I did.

This semester we did a research paper, two other essays, and read stories from drama, poetry and short fiction. Short Fiction stories were my favorite. They seemed to be a little more understandable than any other material that was read. Poetry was my least favorite. I’ve never actually liked poetry because I don’t exactly understand why the whole thing doesn’t rhyme. It’s also very hard to understand when not everything means the same. The research paper was also a lot of fun surprisingly. I like to do research and find out about a topic a little deeper then the obvious. I do wish we could have picked our topic for the research paper because food wasn’t really anything that interested me. I’m a better writer when I can relate and engage in the topic.

This semester was my favorite due to the discussions. Our class as a whole respected each other’s opinions. Our class was very social and that’s what makes the class a little easier.  MY favorite class discussion was women’s rights month. It got just a little intense but it was great to see all the opinions shared. The class discussions were always interesting and there was never a dull moment in class. With this class being the last of my day, I can say I never absolutely dreaded going to the class.

The teaching styles were awesome. I learned a lot with taking Lindberg for 1101 and 1102. I like the way the research paper came first and we were able to concentrate just on that for a few weeks. I also liked the way the drama, poetry, and short fiction was introduced.  The drama and poetry paper were very difficult.

Overall, I loved the class and loved being able to take the same teacher for both English classes.
