The Future

Dear Future English 110 Pupil,

Back in my day, when I first decided to take English 110, I could not help to think that it was going to be extremely boring and just like every other English class in my experiences. During the first class, that idea was quickly stomped out. My first day experience was unlike that of my other courses. Usually it is very formal, and uptight and all you do is pass out the syllabus and go over it. For this class however, it was very laid back. The desks were in a big circle that you could see and interact with everyone, rather than in constricting rows. This made peer interaction easier and more accepted.
Another thing I was happy about was the instructor. Rather than a mean, aged professor who barely spoke English, she was a very personable, dare I say, cool, lady, not too far removed from my own age. She brought us Little Debbie’s and donuts for God’s sake. Everyone knows the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and that’s just what she did. Even when meeting to discuss the project we were working on, she was laid back and easy to talk too.
Another thing that seemed easy was the work that she assigned. It was never overly challenging but still meaningful at the same time. Through the use of blogs, rough drafts, and peer reviews, I really got to understand what the direction this course was taking. As long as you turned everything in on time, you were in good shape because even if it wasn’t your best work, the peer review sessions helped to fine tune what you were working on. I had fun with my group as well, even if it took them forever to learn my name, cough cough Holly. All in all, I had fun in English 110. I learned a lot, made some friends, and wrote one of my best papers with the help of my class and advisor. You won’t be sorry you took this class.

God is love,
Rev Run.
