My 201 Experience

When I signed up for English 201 my only intentions were to fulfill my CommB requirements. I’m not going to lie; when I heard the title of the class I was a little scared. However, after learning more about the course my interest in the content increased. I love talking, and talking about talking, it’s just great! In my opinion, the best part of this class is laid back environment and fun that we have. It is great to come from a 745am lab and get to sit back and relax while we all chat about our opinions on rhetoric. Another great part about this class is the fact that we got the chance to look deep into the rhetoric of the Presidential election. Politics is a great interest for me and it gave me a chance to hear other people’s opinion while learning more about the meaning behind the words being thrown around. Not only were the discussion and topics interesting, but the readings were great too. Most classes that have assigned novels are long and boring and are followed up by extensive essays that are annoying and pointless. It was great to enjoy the novels we read instead of having to pick them apart in effort to put together another useless book report.
At the beginning of the semester I was a bit apprehensive to dive into a semester long group project that was worth so many points. I know that I usually leave the majority of my assignments until the night before they are due, and knowing that that isn’t possible for group projects is why they make me so nervous. After meeting my cohort I was even more worried about this experience because all of group members suck. JUST KIDDING GUYS! But no, for real, after meeting my cohort I was a bit relieved to discover that all of them were just as into this project as I was. We all get along great and are all dedicated to getting the best grade possible.
As the semester comes to a close, I realize I’m going to miss this class. Not every semester will you come across a class that is so relaxed and laid back. It’s not only that but the interesting topics that make this class so appealing. Thinking about all the fun times and interesting things that I learned in this class, I know next semester when I’m sitting in my microbiology lecture (yuck!) I will be wishing I was in 6110 hanging out with our class!
