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.
