This Friday marks our fourth meeting for English 278, which means we'll be a quarter of the way through the semester. Even though it's still fairly early, I'm interested to know what you think of the course so far, how it's set up, what we do with classtime, how grades work, blogs, etc.
So ... I'm going to ask you to think about these questions for a minute. I'll open up some time at the beginning of class on Friday for any thoughts, but feel free to leave them in the comments here (anonymously, if you'd like). They can be:
- What you've liked so far
- What you'd like to see more of
- What you'd like to see less of
- Complaints
- Suggestions
- Etc.
I really do want to make sure that this course is as good as I (and you) can make it. So if there's something you'd like to discuss, let's do it!
What I've liked so far: Getting to watch Alanis music videos in class!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see more Alanis Morisette in this class and less__ ?
In all seriousness....I really enjoy this class so far and I was scared to take it because I thought it might be over my head, plus I'm a slow reader. But, I think the stories we've read so far are extremely meaningful and even if I'm not analyzing them correctly, we always seem to figure it out in class discussion.
If I could make a suggestion, it would be more of a personal request, which is that I find some group members don't have anything to contribute to our in-class discussions and/or they don't keep the conversation going and/or they are texting. I think people should lose their cell phones for three hours so that they aren't distracted. If there is an emergency, it's going to happen wether or not you have the ability to look at your phone.(end rant).
