This class is definitely more exciting than what I previously thought. I enjoy the extremely small class size. It is enjoyably personal and there is a family-vibe to the classroom. We are all learning new things about each other with discussions and class talk, I'm sure we could finish each other sentences by the time the quarter is over.
The essays we've had to annotate are all interesting and I find myself immersed in them. I like reading different types of essays, and the ones we are assigned come in a variety. The only part about the homework I don't like is the Critical Analysis of a Non-Fiction Book. I thought that the example of To Kill a Mockingbird could apply to my book, but I was severely wrong. Writing an analysis for a NON-fiction book proved harder than it seemed. I had a rough time coming up with an original argument, and ended up writing an opinion paper.
Although that paper was a rough spot, I am excited to see what other assignments we have coming our way!

I definitely agree!!! I LOVE our small class size and I'm sure we'll all be great friends once the quarter is over!
ReplyDeleteI also had a very difficult time writing the critical analysis. It was all very confusing for me. At least we have it done (for the most part), so we can move on to bigger and better things! :)
Just a thought- I noticed yours and Chelsea's blog post on this are practically identical. You both started saying you enjoy the class more than you had expected, and you both ended the first paragraph saying that our class would be closer by the end of the quarter. Then you both went on to say you had a tough time writing the critical analysis. hmmmm... :)
ReplyDeleteI noticed the same thing Sam! And I'm not in your class, but our class has fun too! We have awesome discussions and lots of opinions, but everyone's open. I know everyone in your class seems to love the small class, but a normal sized class is fun too! :)
